hi all! charcuterie/cheese boards were my thing for a few years but i haven’t made many in the past year. trying to get back into it, but wanna do even better!
i always have a few cheeses, at least one meat, a few cracker variations, fruit, nuts, honey, a jam, and a savory spread (dijon, basil paste, etc). i also sometimes have something sweet (ie choc covered pretzels) or briny (ie pickles).
1) what are some other (types of?) ingredients i can incorporate? i’m thinking small slices of bread could be good, what else?
2) how can i get better at arranging them on the board? i try to limit board space peeking thru, but am getting bored with my regular arrangement patterns/techniques. looking to switch it up!
thanks in advance!!! <3

These are look amazing! I love the variety and colors. Cutting the cheeses up in different ways really elevates it though:)
I die for crostini, goat cheese of some variation, multiple cheeses, and atleast 2-4 meats. I love the cracker to cheese ratio. I hate when people post so much cheese and meat with like, 10 crackers. How am I gonna scoop all that up? Also, I love berries or some kind of sweet jam or spread. Those look great, I’d eat that!!
I love the advice here. All that I can add: yummers! Very nice!
the best way to improve is to get inspiration from others work tbh. look at a BUNCH of boards and take notes/draw diagrams.
