My favorite recipe to make growing up was a cheese plate hors d'oeuvre. I always made it with my mom for barbeque's and get togethers. She taught me how to make this dish at a young age and I now make it on my own from time to time. At all of the gatherings we have brought this dish to, we are always commended on how delightful it tastes. Here is the recipe so that you too can make this amazing appetizer.
