Valentijnsdag is dé dag om te laten zien hoeveel je om je geliefden geeft, en hoe kun je dit nu beter doen dan met een smakelijke kaasplank? In dit recept leggen we je stap voor stap uit hoe je een heerlijke kaasplank maakt.

Make it a party this Saint Nicholas with a gourmet cheeseboard! A perfect cheese board for young and old alike.  In the theme of Sinterklaas, we made a sinterklaas cheese letter but as a drinks board and here's how to make it: Take a nice board and put the different types of cheese on it.  Put the cheese in an S shape on the board. We used the beautiful yellow Gouda&cheese for the letter.  Place the dips between the cheeses and spread the nuts on the board. Further complete the board with some toasts or crackers and fig bread or fruit bread. Add some raw vegetables such as carrots, for example. Especially choose your own favourites! Sprinkle some nice sprinkles in between for that real Saint Nicholas feeling and don't forget the speculaas. Make sure the cheeses are at room temperature before serving.

Create a festive luxury drinks board with Henri Willig's cheeses! The following cheeses were used for this cheese board: Green pesto - young cow cheese with green pesto, Goat gold - mature goat cheese, Tremendous truffle - young mature cow cheese with truffle. The goat cheese here is placed on a cheese curler that can be used to make beautiful cheese 'flowers'. The pineapple ginger dip is an ideal combination with this cheese. The green pesto and truffle cheese can be cut into dots and strips. Fill the board with the cheeses and alternate with fresh fruit and raw vegetables. Think apple, grapes, carrot and cucumber, for example. Finally, add fresh nuts, olives and crackers.  The result is a beautiful and tasty drinks board!

These cheese croquettes are a delicious alternative to regular croquettes! This is how to make about 25 cheese croquettes: Soak the gelatine in cold water. Meanwhile, melt the butter with the garlic clove in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted add the flour and stir until cooked. Keep stirring and then add the stock little by little until everything is absorbed. Turn off the heat and add the cheese, mustard, onion powder, pepper, soaked gelatine and salt. Stir well and then put the mixture in a baking dish with foil over it. Leave it to cool for an hour outside the fridge and then another about 4 hours in the fridge. For breadcrumbs, put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs each in a separate deep dish. Roll balls of the cheese mixture and pass through the flour, then the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Put them in the fridge for a while and then it's time to deep-fry. About 3 minutes per ball.   Thanks for your delicious recipe Danielle (@Foodaholic.co.uk) 

We made this plank for Mother's Day. They actually deserve such a tasty board every day! Get creative and cut different cheeses into different shapes. Think cubes, dots, strips and so on. Divide all supplies on the board and give it your own twist.  We made the cheese butterflies based on a recipe by Cees Holtkamp and we used our own cheese for this.  Ingredients: 6 slices of buttercream puff pastry 40 grams of butter 100 grams grated Henri Willig Cow Gold mature cow's cheese Salt  White pepper Curry Preparation:  Take 6 thawed slices of buttercream puff pastry and lay them on top of each other. Roll this out to a slice of about 30x40 cm Then make the cream. Put 40 grams of butter and 100 grams of grated mature cow cheese together in a bowl and mix until creamy. Make sure the cheese and butter are not cold, otherwise it won't mix together nicely.  Once this is done, season with salt, white pepper and curry.  Spread the cheese cream over the puff pastry but leave a border free over the long side, otherwise there will be a double amount of cream there. Fold the puff pastry inwards. Do this from both sides in 2 steps. So first fold in a strip of about 7 cm on both sides. And then repeat this again until both sides come together.  Then grease one side with egg and fold the parts together. Now put the dough in the fridge for 1-2 hours to stiffen, so you can cut easily and sharply later.  Remove the dough from the fridge, cut thin 2-4 mm strips and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. You can make about 50-60 cheese butterflies with this recipe.  Is the baking tray filled? Then bake the butterflies for 20 minutes at 170 °C Let them cool for a while and serve these pretty butterflies on the cheese board.

Incredibly easy, but it looks great! The extra things on the shelf: Spicy mustard Chef's selection Roasted tomato dip  Strawberries Olives  Mandarin Radishes Nectarine Pistachios The 3 simple recipes:  - Egg muffins with smoked goat's cheese Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grate 50 g smoked goat cheese and keep half of it aside. Mix the other half of the cheese with 4 eggs, 6 sun-dried tomatoes (chopped), 10 olives (sliced), 1 pressed clove of garlic, 1 tsp Italian herbs and a pinch of salt in a bowl and mix well. Grease a muffin tin (for 6 pieces) and divide the batter in it. Sprinkle the rest of the grated cheese over the top.

This vegetarian snack is delicious for any time! Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.  Make sure you have sliced the red onion, spring onion, pepper and jalapeños. Think half rings and strips.  Grate a generous portion of cheese. We used our Henri's Hero Daslook cheese here, but also delicious is, for example, our chilli cheese, young gouda cheese or, for example, herb garlic cheese.  In a baking dish, place the tortilla chips and sprinkle the red onion, spring onion, pepper, corn, kidney beans and jalapeño peppers on top. Then spread the cheese over the baking dish.  Put the dish in the oven until the cheese in about 10 minutes melted. Mash the flesh of the avocado with a fork. Add some lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Fill several bowls with the roasted tomato dip, avocado dip and crème fraîche. And serve these with the casserole with nachos.   Dip and enjoy!

Loes made these súper easy cheese sticks! Defrost the slices of puff pastry. Cut each slice of puff pastry into 5 strips. Spread the beaten egg on the strips. Then sprinkle them with our cheese. Loes used the red pesto cheese, the herb garlic cheese and the limited edition sparkling wine cheese. But any cheese will do, of course!  Place them in a preheated 200-degree oven for 20 minutes.  Let them cool for a while and then serve them, for example, alongside a delicious drinks board with a delicious cheese dip (like this plum star anise) or a bowl of soup.  Thanks Loes ( @smullenmetloes) for your yummy easy recipe.     

A cheese board for dessert, but with Dutch cheese! A super easy recipe. Cut the different cheeses into nice slices or strips and place them on the plate. Important is the order of the cheeses. Start with mild and finish with the strongest cheeses.  On these plates, the order is as follows:  - Young gouda, a soft creamy biscuit cheese  - Young sheep's cheese, also soft but with the special delicate flavour of sheep's milk - Aged goat's cheese, rich and full of flavour. Awarded the best hard goat's cheese in the world - Old cow's cheese, a deliciously piquant cow's cheese - Extra old goat cheese, a very deep and full-flavoured, crumbly goat cheese.  Lay these slices or strips neatly side by side on the plate and add a spoonful of the dip or syrup to the plate.  Also add a few pieces of the cracker and a handful of nuts. You eat these in between cheeses, for example. They can neutralise the taste buds neutralise them so that you taste each type of cheese taste good.  And that was it! In short, a super easy dessert but still very nice and tasty.  

Halloween is a party, so this plank is a party too! Preparation:  Cut the different cheeses into different shapes.  For the pumpkin cheese, we cut cubes and also used a pumpkin cut-out mould.  Make strips, dots, cubes and possibly slices of the other cheeses. Cut also cut the plums.  Place the different cheeses spread out on the cheese board. Between the cheeses the nuts and plums. Make slices of the grilled sausage and place these between the cheeses as well. Fill the empty spaces with ghost chips. Add the dips and your board is ready!  For this plank, we used used small pumpkins and paper bats and spiders for decoration. So you can make the shelf as cosy or spooky as you like!   

A drinks board with quite a bit of variety! Indeed, on this board we have used young, old and smoked cheese, and that from cow's milk, sheep's milk and goat's milk.  Cut the cheeses into different shapes. Here we chose for strips, cubes, dots and wedges.  The herb garlic cheese is cut into strips. This works best if you cut the cheese in half first. Then make slices and turn these slices into the strips.  We cut the fenugreek cheese into cubes. In doing so, we cut out a piece where you can put the cubes between. And when the cubes are finished, you can just cut another piece off, of course! You can cut the old sheep's cheese into slices along the side. because the piece&cheese is cut from a larger wheel,&you get those nice long slices of cheese.  Smoked goat cheese is cylindrical and by cutting it lengthwise and then also cutting the halves again, you get long strips that you can then cut into smaller wedges. Divide the cheese between your shelf, and top it with the crackers, nuts and cheese salts. This shelf also has apple segments and we have chosen 2 tasty mustards that taste good with the cheese.  The plank is ready, time to enjoy!
