Cedar Plank Cheese Bake with Sprouted Pecans (Edit recipe)

This cedar plank cheese bake is my cozy twist on a classic cheese board. The cheese melts right into the warm cedar, picking up a subtle smoky flavor while those sprouted pecans from Lark Ellen Farms toast to golden perfection. It’s not really a recipe, more like a party trick you’ll want to pull out anytime you’re entertaining. Soak your cedar plank, pile on your favorite melty cheeses (I go for Gruyère, blue, and smoked Gouda), scatter on the pecans, and bake until everything is gooey. A drizzle of honey at the end ties it all together. Serve it with toasty sourdough, crackers, or even a few fresh pears. It’s simple, rustic, and you just can’t go wrong with melty cheese.
