Create a meat river by folding each slice of meat and arranging it in a strip across the middle of the board.
Add 2 to 3 little bowls and fill them with spreads, jams, olives, cornichons. Place them on the opposite corners and one towards the center.
Add cheese. Fold or roll large slices and use toothpicks to keep them together. Bite-size pieces can be placed in groups.
Add veggies in groups.
Fill the gaps with fruit, nuts, crackers, baguette slices.
Add tools: cheese knives, spoons, toothpicks, mini forks.
Notes
The cheese board can be assembled hours before serving. It is best to cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge. You can also prep the cheese and meats by slicing them and keeping them wrapped until you are ready to assemble the board.
Bite-size fruits are the best but you can slice apples, pears, and segment citrus.
