Instructions
- Add the almonds, orange slices, olives, and cornichons, to separate small bowls or ramekins and place them on the board first to anchor it.
- Add the brie and Port Salut to the board, then add the Unexpected Cheddar and Manchego in different sections and/or fan the cheeses out around separate ramekins.
- Next, fan out a handful of crackers around ramekins or along the edge of the board. Serve any remaining crackers or baguette on the side. (For fuller boards, I tend to serve crackers on the side so I have plenty of room for the cheese and such!)
- Add the raspberries and grapes, making sure to keep the super moist produce away from any dry carbs.
- Add the dry salame directly to any open spaces and tuck the calabrese rosettes around ramekins and cheese.
- Add the chocolate, then garnish the board with rosemary to serve.
