Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by selecting a large, beautiful serving board or platter. Arrange three ramekins in a triangular pattern, filled with fig jam, Castelvetrano olives, and roasted almonds.
Position the Brie, Sharp Cheddar, and Goat Cheese at opposite ends for visual balance, and tuck folded salami and prosciutto against the cheeses.
Fill in the board with assorted crackers and pretzels, then add clusters of red grapes, strawberries, and cucumber slices.
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs among the cheeses and fruits for visual impact and aroma.
