Ingredients

- Port Salute Cheese
- Triple Cream Brie cheese
Hard Cheeses
- Toscano cheese with black pepper
- Gruyere cheese
Meats
- prosciutto
- spicy soppressata
- salami
Extra Goodies

Crackers

Instructions
- Simply start by placing the bigger items on your cheese board first. I arranged the cheeses and small bowls (for the olives) first. Use more small bowls to add dips or spreads if you have the space! I love to have an assortment of hard and soft cheeses. Also, a variety of color and shapes of the cheeses are appealing to the eye as well!
- Next, add the meats and crackers- you can fold or lay the meats down by the cheeses.
- Fill in the extra spaces with fruits and nuts- I like to add a variety of dried and fresh fruits. Enjoy!
