A well-built cheese board is one of the easiest ways to entertain without much fuss, and this one leans on aged, firm-textured cheeses like Comté, aged cheddar, and Manchego that pair beautifully with sweet and savory extras. Clusters of grapes and halved strawberries add juicy brightness next to toasted walnut halves and a small bowl of tangy Dijon for dipping. Gluten free crackers round out the spread with crunch, while broken pieces of dark chocolate and a light drizzle of maple syrup bring a touch of sweetness to balance the sharper cheeses. A few sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme tucked in for garnish make the whole board look as good as it tastes. Letting everything come to room temperature before serving really lets those cheese flavors open up. It's a great option for a lactose free spread, giving guests plenty of variety without any last-minute stress.

Remove all cheeses from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving and let them come to room temperature — this allows the flavors and aromas to fully develop.
Place the three cheeses on the large board, spacing them apart so guests can easily access each one. Arrange the Comté, aged cheddar, and Manchego in different areas of the board, with a cheese knife near each.
