Method
Select the size board you will use before you go shopping. This will help determine how much you need to buy.
Because he’s the star of the show, begin by placing your brie Santa Claus on the board, including his hat made of salami. From there you can work out the placement of the other elements, starting with larger items such as cheese and crackers, and any items that you wish to serve in containers like the green olives.
Once you have the bigger items positioned, fill in the board with the other ingredients. Use smaller items like nuts and dried fruit to fill empty spaces.
Don’t forget to provide knifes and serving utensils on the table with the charcuterie board.
