Ingredients:

  • 8 oz triple cream brie
  • 6 oz sharp white cheddar
  • 6 oz manchego cheese
  • 4 oz herb-crusted goat cheese
  • 4 oz prosciutto
  • 6 oz genoa salami
  • 6 oz pepperoni
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/2 cup castelvetrano olives
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 baguette
  • 4 oz multi-grain crackers
  • 4 oz water crackers
  • Jam or honey (for ramekins)

Instructions:

  1. Place small ceramic ramekins on the wooden serving board to act as anchors. Fill ramekins with olives and your choice of jam or honey.
  2. Position the largest cheeses, the Brie and Cheddar, at opposite ends of the board to create balanced visual weight.
  3. Fold the prosciutto into loose, airy ribbons and fold pepperoni into quarters to create height and volume on the board.
  4. Arrange the remaining cheeses, including the sliced Manchego triangles and the goat cheese log, filling the gaps between the anchors and meats.
  5. Intersperse the board with pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, and raspberries to provide color contrast and acidic balance.
  6. Fill remaining empty spaces with sliced baguette and a mix of multi-grain and water crackers.
  7. Tuck fresh rosemary sprigs around the edges and between cheese groupings for a final festive green garnish.
