That "St. Patrick's Day" Plate + Supplies

I have seen my fair share of St. Patrick’s Day plates over the years, and many of them include rainbow candy galore, four-leaf clover cut-outs and leprechauns. As much I do love to lean into the kitschy creations, I wanted to simplify with this one, keeping with the orange and green Irish flag theme but focusing on the pairings itself!

The star of the show is obviously the aged Irish Cheddar, adding a creamy and tangy bite to the plate. But let’s not miss the bourbon maple roasted carrots. Pair those two together for a decadent sweet and salty bite. The sweet and smoky notes of the bourbon maple syrup blend beautifully with the sweetness of the carrots, creating a caramelized glaze in the oven. See below for the supplies, pairings and a step-by-step!
