# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent but requires zero cooking, just arranging things you probably already have.
  • You can make it look impressive in under ten minutes, even when you're half distracted.
  • It scales up or down easily, whether you're eating alone or feeding a few friends who dropped by.
02 -
  • Let the cheeses sit out for at least fifteen minutes before serving, or they'll be too firm and the flavors won't open up.
  • Slice the apple last and squeeze a little lemon juice on it if you're not serving immediately, or it'll turn brown and look tired.
  • Don't overcrowd the board, empty space makes it look elegant instead of chaotic.
03 -
  • Use an odd number of cheeses or meats, three or five instead of four, it looks more natural and less symmetrical.
  • Add one unexpected element like spiced nuts, a chunk of honeycomb, or a few dark chocolate squares to surprise people.
  • Warm the honey slightly before drizzling it makes it pour easier and soak into the cheese instead of sitting on top.
