Notes

Pro tip: Cheese is best served at room temperature so be sure to take it out of the fridge a few hours before serving.

Leftover cheese, meats and fruits or veggies can be stored in the refrigerator. It is usually best to just toss leftover crackers as they tend to be a bit covered in cheese.
