Method

Preparation

Choose Your Board: Start with a large cutting board or a serving platter.
Arrange the Cheese: Place your cheese first, cutting some into cubes or slices, but leaving the brie whole.
Add the Meats: Fold slices of salami and prosciutto and place them near the cheese.
Include Fruits and Vegetables: Add your fresh or dried fruits and vegetables in clusters.
Nuts and Crackers: Fill in gaps with nuts and crackers, arranging them for easy access.
Add Dips and Spreads: Put dips in small bowls on the board.
Garnish for Style: Scatter fresh herbs around for decoration.
Final Touches: Step back and adjust the layout for a balanced look.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers. Cheese and meats can be wrapped in wax paper. Crackers should be kept separate to maintain crispness.
