Pick out your platter. If you have a legitimate cheese board, awesome. But if not, no worries! You can use a cutting board, marble slab, or any flat serving platter.
Artfully place your cheeses on the board or platter, and build around the cheese by adding your meats (layered or rolled up), crackers, and extras. I typically keep the nuts and fruits for last and use them to fill in any little empty spaces.
Lastly, add sprigs of fresh herbs to fill in the last of any empty spaces and to add some greenery, as well as fresh aromatics.
