A Super Easy Nectarine Cream Cheese Board You’ll Want to Make All Summer
If you’re searching for fabulous nectarine recipes, look no further. This little beauty of a board is a summer YES for me – it’s fresh, creamy, sweet, and looks so darn pretty when it’s all styled up. If you’re hosting a summer get-together, brunch, or even just having a few girlfriends over for drinks on the patio, this Nectarine Cream Cheese Board Appetizer is the easiest way to impress without spending hours in the kitchen.
I’ll be listing the recipe below, but think of this as your go-to when you need something quick but want it to look like you totally have your life together. (We love that, right?)
What to Serve It With
This board pairs beautifully with your favorite nectarine-themed creations:
- Fresh sliced baguette – that crisp, airy texture with the creamy cheese and juicy nectarines? Perfection.
- Gluten-free crackers – for my friends who need a GF option, still delish.
- Pretzels – because salty + sweet is always a win.
I’ve also done this with toasted sourdough slices and wow. Try that if you’ve got time to pop them in the oven for a few minutes. I also love this cheese knife set for spreading!
