# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everyone gets exactly what they crave without any special orders
  • It looks like you spent hours arranging though it comes together in minutes
  • The mix of savory and sweet satisfies every possible breakfast mood
02 -
  • Cold cheese tastes flat so let everything sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving
  • Overcrowding makes boards look messy so leave some empty space between elements for visual breathing room
  • Soft cheeses spread better if you set them out 15 minutes before anyone arrives
03 -
  • Group ingredients in odd numbers rather than perfect pairs for a more natural aesthetic
  • Place the most expensive items like smoked salmon where they are easy to see and reach
