Ingredients
Assorted Cheeses:
- 1 wheel brie (about 6-8 oz)
- 6 oz gouda cubed
- 4 oz blue stilton crumbled
Cured Meats:
- 4 oz prosciutto (about 8-10 slices)
- 6 oz Salami (about 18-20 slices)
Nuts & Fruits:
- ½ cup cashews
- ½ cup pistachios
- 2 small bunches green grapes (about 2 cups)
- 6-8 dried figs
Accompaniments:
- ¼ cup fig jam
Crackers & Bread:
- 15-20 scalloped crackers
- 15-20 cheese crackers
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheeses: Arrange the Brie wheel as the centerpiece. Cube the Gouda for easy snacking. Crumble the Blue Stilton for a bold flavor contrast.
- Assemble the Cured Meats: Roll up the prosciutto into tight rolls. For the salami, place slices over a narrow glass, folding them over each other to create a rose-like appearance.
- Integrate Nuts & Fruits: Scatter Cashews and Pistachios around the board, ensuring they fill gaps and add texture. Place bunches of Green Grapes for a refreshing palate cleanser. Position Dried Figs strategically to balance sweetness.
- Include Accompaniments: Spoon Fig Jam into a small dish and place it near the cheese.
- Layer with Crackers & Bread: Arrange Scalloped Crackers and Cheese Crackers in various spots for a mix of textures.
Notes
- Room Temperature is Key: Take cheeses and meats out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
- Balance Colors & Textures: Mix soft and hard cheeses, light and dark elements, and different shapes for an eye-catching display.
- Keep It Casual: Guests should be able to grab bites easily, so don’t overcrowd the board.
