1 2-lb piece Muenster cheese
1 1-lb wedge Bel Paese cheese with basil and sun-dried tomatoes
1 15-oz wheel herb Brie

Directions

1. For the best flavor, cheeses should be served at cool room temperatures. Cheeses should be removed from the cooler or refrigerator an hour before serving.

2. Arrange cheeses in groups on wooden boards. Provide sharp thin knives for cutting firm cheeses such as Cheddar, a cheese plane for cutting Muenster into thin slices, and butter knives for soft cheeses such as Bel Paese or Brie. Stand mozzarella cheese sticks up in a C .

3. Arrange fruit in a bowl and crackers in a bucket, if desired. Cut apples and pears when ready to serve with cheeses.
