# How to Make It:

02 - Arrange the sliced brie, cubed cheddar, and softened cream cheese in separate areas of the board, creating distinct cheese stations.
03 - Cluster the quartered croissant, halved mini bagels, and toasted whole grain bread slices around the board in separate groupings.
04 - Fill open spaces on the board with mixed berries, sliced kiwi, apple slices, and orange segments to add vibrant color throughout.
05 - Place small bowls containing strawberry jam, honey, butter, and Greek yogurt directly on the board or alongside it for dipping.
06 - Add the halved boiled eggs and scatter roasted nuts across the board. Sprinkle fresh herbs over the arrangement for a final touch.
07 - Present immediately at room temperature, allowing guests to customize their breakfast combinations from the variety offered.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero actual cooking means you can sleep in and still impress everyone at brunch.
  • The mix of savory and sweet means picky eaters and adventurous foodies both leave happy.
02 -
  • Take everything out of the refrigerator about twenty minutes before serving because cold cheese and meat lose flavor.
  • The board will look sparse until you add fruit and nuts, so do not panic halfway through arranging.
03 -
  • Fold prosciutto instead of laying it flat because volume and movement make the board look abundant.
  • Put the most expensive items near the edges where people see them first and gravitate toward them naturally.
