Ingredients
Directions
- Begin with a large cutting board or platter—for reference, one that's 18 by 15 inches works well. Arrange the cheese blocks in any pattern you like.
- A typical layout puts cheese in the four corners and center, but feel free to stagger them. Then set out small bowls for olives and honey.
- Next, add the charcuterie around the cheeses, then begin placing fruit. Feel free to rearrange—once the cheese and bowls are positioned, the rest falls into place.
- Begin with the larger fruits like grapes, scattering them around. Use handfuls of berries to fill gaps, then sprinkle in almonds and add figs.
