Ingredients
90g prosciutto
90g salami
90g soppressata
100g brie
100g goat cheese
100g gouda
100g aged cheddar
1 apple, sliced
1 bunch grapes
15 crackers
6 breadsticks
10 olives
5 mini pickles
50g almonds
50g pistachios
2 tbsp fig jam
1 tbsp honey
Instructions
1. Place ramekins or small bowls of olives, jams, or honey in corners of the board to create structure.
2. Arrange cheeses around the board, slicing some for easy access and leaving others whole for aesthetic appeal.
3. Fold or roll the meats and place next to cheeses, slightly overlapping for fullness.
4. Add fresh fruits and scatter nuts in empty spaces to create visual interest and variety in texture.
5. Add crackers and breadsticks last to maintain their crispness; fan them out in groups.
Notes
Use a variety of cheese textures: soft, semi-soft, and hard for flavor balance.
Pre-slice apples just before assembling to prevent browning.
Keep cheeses and meats chilled until just before serving for freshness.
