Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz soft goat cheese, room temperature
  • 4 oz Manchego cheese, sliced thinly
  • 8 oz Brie wheel, room temperature
  • 4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz soppressata or spicy salami
  • 1 cup strawberries, halved
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup baby carrots, peeled
  • Handful of arugula
  • 1/4 cup pansies and violets (edible flowers)
  • Fresh thyme sprigs
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 1/2 cup Marcona almonds or toasted pecans
  • 3 oz honeycomb piece
  • Assorted crackers
  • 2 tbsp fig jam or apricot preserves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Remove the brie and goat cheese from the fridge about 30 minutes before assembling to bring them to room temperature.
  2. Slice the Manchego into thin, bite-sized wedges.
  3. Arrange the prosciutto and soppressata slices neatly on a plate, folding or loosely rolling into small bundles.
  4. Rinse strawberries, grapes, cucumber, and baby carrots well. Halve strawberries, slice cucumber thinly, and peel carrots if needed. Pat dry.
  5. Gently rinse pansies, violets, thyme, and rosemary sprigs. Lay on a kitchen towel to air dry.
  6. Place cheeses spaced out on the board to create focal points. Use small bowls or ramekins for honeycomb and fig jam near cheeses.
  7. Position rolled prosciutto and soppressata around the cheeses, leaving gaps for fruits, nuts, and crackers.
  8. Scatter strawberries, grapes, cucumber slices, and baby carrots in empty spaces, grouping similar items for visual appeal.
  9. Place Marcona almonds or toasted pecans in small piles or bowls.
  10. Tuck thyme and rosemary sprigs around the board. Place edible flowers sparingly on cheeses, fruits, and crackers.
  11. Add extra crackers to fill gaps and provide variety. Drizzle a little honey over goat cheese or serve honeycomb nearby.

Notes

Let cheeses come to room temperature before assembling for best flavor and texture. Use only edible, pesticide-free flowers. Keep the board refrigerated if not serving immediately and bring out 15 minutes before serving. Use small bowls for sticky items like honeycomb or jam to keep the board tidy. For vegan or dairy-free versions, substitute cheeses and meats accordingly.
