How to Arrange Your Board
- Start with the cheese. Place them in different areas of your board to serve as anchors.
- Fold and layer the meats. For a fun touch, try creating a salami rose using the rim of a wine glass!
- Add crackers and fruits. Arrange them in small clusters to balance out the textures and colors.
- Fill in with nuts and chocolate. These smaller elements help complete the board.
- Drizzle honey and add jam. You can spread jam on the brie or place it in a small dish for dipping.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and flowers. This adds a romantic and elegant finishing touch.
Serving Suggestions
Pair your board with a bottle of sparkling rosé, prosecco, or a crisp white wine for a delightful experience. If you're keeping it non-alcoholic, a fruity mocktail or sparkling water is a refreshing option!
