# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes and requires no actual cooking, just thoughtful arranging.
  • You can use whatever you have on hand or whatever looks good at the store that day.
  • It feels indulgent and special even though it's just assembled ingredients on a board.
  • Perfect for one person, two people, or spontaneously feeding a small crowd.
02 -
  • Let the cheeses sit out for at least fifteen minutes before serving so they soften and taste fuller.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apple just before arranging, or toss the slices in lemon juice to keep them from browning.
  • Don't overcrowd the board, leave a little breathing room so it looks intentional and not chaotic.

  • Always taste your cheeses before serving to make sure they're flavorful and not too cold.
  • Invest in a good cheese knife or two, it makes slicing and spreading feel more intentional and less messy.
  • If you're short on time, buy pre sliced meats and cheeses, no one will know and it saves ten minutes.
