Instructions

Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to slice the muenster into heart shaped slices.
Place the cheeses on the board in random spots, leaving space for other ingredients. Crumble portions of the cranberry Stilton cheese. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts over the Brie wedge and then drizzle with some honey.
Fold the slices of salami in half and stick a toothpick in it. Fill each toothpick with 3-4 slices and place them in a spot.
Place the slices of pepperoni folded in half over a rim of a small cup, overlapping a little. Turn pepperoni rose over and place on the board.
Cut the strawberries in half and form some into a heart.
Slice the apples into thin slices and add to the board.
Add the remaining ingredients throughout the board filling in the blank spots and keeping like foods separate as possible.
Finish by adding any decorative garnishes like fresh sage and roses.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Tips

Let cheeses sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving so they soften slightly and taste their best.
Cut and wash fruit ahead of time, but pat it completely dry to prevent moisture from pooling on the board.
Build the board in layers, starting with larger items like cheeses and bowls, then filling in gaps with smaller items for a balanced look.

Storage & Make Ahead

You can prep all ingredients up to 24 hours in advance and store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
Assemble the board shortly before serving for the freshest look and best texture.
Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for up to two days.
