Bayonne and Crackers

Ingredients:

-Pre-sliced Jambon de Bayonne
-Semi-sweet apple (Honeycrisp)
-Aged Hard Cheese (Wookey Hole)
-Crisp Cracker

Instructions:

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.
