Ingredients:

  • 8 oz Bresaola, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz Beef Salami, sliced into rounds
  • 8 oz Pastrami, cubed small
  • 4 oz Beef Jerky, torn into strips
  • 6 oz Aged Sharp Cheddar, cubed
  • 6 oz Creamy Brie, wedge
  • 6 oz Manchego, sliced into triangles
  • 1 cup water crackers
  • 1 cup toasted baguette slices
  • 1/2 cup roasted almonds
  • 1/2 cup cornichons
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, halved
  • 4 tbsp fig jam
  • 4 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions:

  1. Place ramekins for the fig jam, Dijon mustard, and cornichons on the board first to act as anchors. Space them unevenly to create a natural, organic look.
  2. Fold the Bresaola into ribbons or roses to create height and volume.
  3. Arrange the beef salami in overlapping shingles, creating a curving line across the board.
  4. Place the cubed pastrami in a tight cluster next to the sharp cheddar.
  5. Nestle the cheese wedges and remaining accompaniments between the meat clusters to fill the space.
