Method
 

Arrange the base
  1. Place cheese in different zones of a large board so each type has its own space and you can build around them visually.
  2. Add meats by folding prosciutto and rolling salami, then position them between the cheese sections to create repeating patterns.
Fill, finish, and serve
  1. Fill the gaps with grapes, green olives, dried apricots, and walnuts until the board looks evenly covered from edge to edge.
  2. Add crackers and bread near the center-front of the board for easy grabbing, leaving a clear path where people will reach.
  3. Drizzle honey over brie so it pools slightly and gives a glossy contrast to the cloud-white surface right before serving.

Notes

Pro tip: Work from largest items (cheese and meats) to smallest (nuts and fruit) to avoid gaps you can’t fix. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, but expect crackers to soften—add them fresh if possible. Freezing is not recommended for boards. For a dairy-light swap, replace brie with an extra-firm goat cheese and drizzle honey the same way for a similar creamy bite.
