Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8-ounce) wheel of Brie
  • 4 ounces Aged Cheddar
  • 4 ounces Manchego
  • 4 ounces Prosciutto
  • 4 ounces Soppressata
  • 2 large Honeycrisp Apples
  • 1/2 cup Dried Mission Figs
  • 1/2 cup Red Seedless Grapes
  • 1 cup Mixed Nuts (candied pecans and salted Marcona almonds)
  • 1/2 cup Crispbread or Crostini
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Cornichons
  • Fresh Rosemary Sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients (5 minutes): Take the brie out of the fridge to come to room temperature. Slice the cheddar and manchego into thin triangles and cubes. Slice the soppressata into thin rounds. Wash and dry the grapes. Arrange the prosciutto slices by separating them gently with your fingers so they aren’t stuck together.
  2. Place Your Bowls (2 minutes): Start by positioning your small bowls on the board. Place one for the honey in the center-left, one for the cornichons in the top-right corner, and one for the mixed nuts in the bottom-left. This creates a visual triangle that anchors the board.
  3. Add the Cheese (3 minutes): Place the whole brie wheel on the board, slightly off-center. Arrange your sliced cheddar and manchego in small piles or fan shapes around the brie. Don’t line them up perfectly—a little organic chaos looks more inviting.
  4. Layer the Meats (3 minutes): Fold the prosciutto slices into loose ribbons or waves and place them in a cluster near the brie. Pile the soppressata rounds in another spot. The folds create texture and make it easy for guests to grab a piece.
  5. Arrange the Fruit (3 minutes): Just before serving, core and slice the Honeycrisp apples into thin wedges. Fan them out in a crescent shape on one side of the board. Place small clusters of grapes in the gaps. Scatter the dried figs around the cheese and meat.
  6. Fill the Gaps (2 minutes): Now, fill in any empty spaces with the crackers and crispbread. Place them in small stacks or overlapping rows. The goal is to make the board look abundant, not crowded.
  7. Garnish and Serve (2 minutes): Drizzle the honey over the top of the brie. Tuck a few sprigs of fresh rosemary around the board for color and aroma. Add a final scatter of the candied pecans and almonds over everything. Step back, admire your work, and watch it disappear.

Notes

Let brie come to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving for best flavor. Slice apples just before serving to prevent browning; toss with lemon juice if prepping ahead. Don’t overcrowd the board—leave space between elements. Use small bowls for wet or sticky items to keep the board tidy. The board can sit out for up to 2 hours at room temperature.
