Bayonne and Crackers
Ingredients:
-Pre-sliced Jambon de Bayonne
-Semi-sweet apple (Honeycrisp)
-Aged Hard Cheese (Wookey Hole)
-Crisp Cracker
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Thinly slice the Honeycrisp apple into delicate pieces.
Cut the Wookey Hole cheese into thin slices or small wedges, depending on your preference.
Assemble the Platter:
Begin by neatly arranging the crisp crackers on a serving platter or board. Place them side-by-side to create a uniform and appealing base.
Next, place thin slices of semi-sweet Honeycrisp apple atop the crackers. The sweetness of the apples will add a delightful contrast to the crispness of the crackers.
On top of the apple slices, add thin slices or small wedges of the aged Wookey Hole cheese. Its hard and mature texture will introduce a savory and rich element to the stack.
Gently wrap slices of Jambon de Bayonne around the cheese and apple-topped crackers. The delicate, salty ham will complement the other flavors and add an elegant twist to the presentation.
Finally, garnish the platter with sprigs of rosemary. This herbaceous touch not only enhances the visual appeal but also infuses a subtle, aromatic flavor to the ensemble
Enjoy:
This platter pairs wonderfully with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling, enhancing the flavors of the cheese and jambon.
Serve this as an elegant appetizer, a sophisticated snack, or as part of a charcuterie board at your next gathering.
