Ingredients
  

For the Cheeses

  • 8 oz Brie cheese
  • 4 oz Blue cheese
  • 8 oz Mozzarella pearls

For the Meats

  • 4 oz Prosciutto
  • 4 oz Salami
  • 4 oz Cured sausage sticks

  • 6–8 Kumquats
  • 1 cup Green olives
  • 6 Stuffed cherry peppers

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Cheeses

  • Start by slicing the Brie into wedges. Crumble the Blue cheese and arrange the Mozzarella pearls in a small bowl.
  • Tip: For a stunning presentation, fan out the cheese wedges slightly to show off their creamy texture.

Step 2: Lay Out the Meats

  • Next, layer the prosciutto and salami on one side of the board, folding them gently to create height. Place the cured sausage sticks nearby for ease of reach.
  • Tip: Vary the placement of the meats to create visual interest and encourage guests to sample everything.

Step 3: Add Fresh Fruits

  • Scatter apple slices, kumquats, and green olives around the cheeses and meats. Their brightness will not only pop against the other colors but also offer a refreshing contrast.

Step 4: Incorporate the Accompaniments

  • Add a few bowls filled with stuffed cherry peppers and walnuts to the board. Lastly, fill in gaps with assorted crackers that provide a crunchy texture.

Step 5: Garnish

  • Finish with fresh rosemary sprigs to add a touch of elegance and aroma.
