Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz salami, sliced (Genoa or soppressata)
  • 2 oz capicola or coppa (optional)
  • 4 oz brie, at room temperature
  • 4 oz aged cheddar, sliced into thin wedges
  • 2 oz goat cheese log, crumbled (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fig jam
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots or figs
  • 1/4 cup Marcona almonds or toasted walnuts
  • 1/4 cup cornichons or small pickles
  • Handful of fresh grapes, red or green
  • 1 small baguette, sliced into thin rounds and lightly toasted
  • 1 box good-quality crackers (e.g., Rustic Bakery flatbread crackers or Milton’s)

Instructions

  1. Take your cheeses out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving to bring them to room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice baguette into 1/2-inch rounds and toast for 5-7 minutes until golden.
  3. Spoon fig jam into a small bowl. Drizzle honey into another small bowl; add a pinch of flaky sea salt to the honey if desired.
  4. Arrange prosciutto on the board in loose ribbons or waves. Place salami slices in a small pile nearby, overlapping slightly. Add capicola if using.
  5. Place brie on the board whole or cut into wedges. Fan cheddar slices next to it. Crumble goat cheese near the fruit if using.
  6. Place bowls of fig jam and honey on the board. Scatter dried apricots, almonds, cornichons, and grapes around them, creating pockets of color and texture.
  7. Arrange toasted baguette slices and crackers around the edges of the board.
  8. Drizzle a little honey over the brie and sprinkle flaky sea salt over the entire board. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let cheese come to room temperature for best flavor. Don’t overcrowd the board; leave negative space. Use sturdy crackers to hold toppings. Assemble just before serving for freshness.
