Ingredients

Scale
  • 68 slices Prosciutto
  • 68 slices Soppressata
  • 68 slices Salami (Genoa style preferred)
  • 8 oz Brie cheese (about 225g)
  • 4 oz Aged Manchego cheese (about 115g)
  • 4 oz Goat cheese log (about 115g), optionally rolled in fresh herbs or cracked pepper
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced or halved
  • ½ cup marinated olives (about 85g), Kalamata or Castelvetrano
  • ½ cup pickled asparagus or green beans (about 85g)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (about 150g), sliced
  • 1 cup seedless grapes (about 150g)
  • ½ cup Marcona almonds (about 60g), lightly toasted
  • ¼ cup truffle honey (about 85g)
  • 12 packages artisan crackers or sliced baguette
  • Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, or basil) for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice cucumbers, radishes, strawberries, and grapes.
  2. Toast Marcona almonds lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, watching closely to avoid burning.
  3. Slice cheeses into bite-sized wedges or rounds. Arrange meats in loose folds or rolls for visual appeal.
  4. Place a large wooden or slate serving board on the table or counter.
  5. Position small bowls or ramekins for olives, nuts, and truffle honey spaced evenly around the board.
  6. Place cheese clusters around the board.
  7. Add folded or rolled slices of prosciutto, soppressata, and salami near the cheeses.
  8. Fill in gaps with cucumber slices, radishes, pickled asparagus or green beans, and olives.
  9. Scatter grapes and strawberries in small bunches to add pops of color and sweetness.
  10. Drizzle truffle honey over the brie, goat cheese, and a few spots on the board just before serving. Alternatively, serve honey in a ramekin with a spoon for guests to add as desired.
  11. Place crackers or baguette slices around the edges or in empty spaces.
  12. Finish with a few fresh herb sprigs for a springtime touch.

Notes

[‘Do not overcrowd the board; leave space for easy grabbing.’, ‘Prep fruits and veggies just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.’, ‘Keep truffle honey chilled until just before serving to maintain ideal consistency.’, ‘Use a small spoon to dot honey on cheese for better control and presentation.’, ‘For vegetarian or vegan versions, swap meats for marinated or grilled veggies and cheeses for plant-based alternatives; use agave or maple syrup infused with truffle oil instead of honey.’, ‘Store leftovers separately: cheeses wrapped tightly and refrigerated up to 3 days, meats in airtight containers up to 5 days, fresh veggies stored with damp paper towel in airtight containers.’, ‘Toast leftover bread or crackers the next day for a quick snack.’]
