# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • There is zero cooking involved, which means you can actually enjoy morning coffee instead of standing over a stove
  • Everyone gets exactly what they want without having to make six different orders
  • It looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did
02 -
  • Cold cheese is impossible to spread, so take out the brie and cream cheese at least twenty minutes before you plan to arrange everything
  • The board looks best when nothing is touching, which sounds ridiculous until you see how messy condensation from fruit makes everything look
03 -
  • Use a wooden board or marble platter instead of ceramic because the temperature helps keep the meats and cheeses at their best texture
  • If you are serving this outside, keep the spreads and dairy in the fridge until the last possible minute
