Cheese Domes

Serve Up Appetizers with Cheese Domes

Hosting a dinner party? Keep guests’ appetites satisfied before serving the main entree with the help of a cheese dome. In more formal settings, let attendees get comfortable before guiding them to the dining room, where a platter is arranged on the kitchen island. Go with one made of marble to complement the opulent aesthetic, or keep it simple with one that has a classic wood look. Either way, an assortment of cheese—Brie, cheddar and gouda included—stay fresh under the glass lid. Want to offer up a wider variety? Consider using a cheese dome that doubles as a serving board. For instance, the covered section keeps this dairy-based food fresh, while the open surface beside it is ideal for crackers, bread and fruit. For those hosting an impromptu gathering, consider using a cake pedestal instead.
