📖 Instructions

1. Gather your cheeses: Select 3-5 cheeses with varying textures and flavors. Consider a brie, cheddar, gorgonzola, and goat cheese.
2. Prepare the cheeses: Cut the cheeses into different shapes – wedges, cubes, or slices – to add visual appeal and make them easy to grab. Remove the brie from the fridge to let it warm up.
3. Select accompaniments: Choose a variety of crackers, baguette slices, fruits (grapes, apple slices, berries), nuts (walnuts, almonds), and a small dish of honey or fig jam.
4. Arrange the platter: Start by placing the largest cheese on the platter, spacing them out evenly. Then, arrange the other cheeses around them.
5. Add crackers and bread: Place crackers and baguette slices around the cheeses, filling in the gaps.
6. Incorporate fruits and nuts: Scatter grapes, apple slices, berries, and nuts around the cheeses and crackers. Be creative with the placement!
7. Include small bowls: Fill small bowls with olives, honey, or fig jam and place them strategically on the platter.
8. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for an elegant touch. Serve immediately or chill for later.
