Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Brie Cheese (double or triple cream)
  • 4 oz Aged Cheddar (block, sliced or cubed)
  • 4 oz Goat Cheese Log
  • 4 oz Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
  • 4 oz Genoa Salami (thinly sliced)
  • 4 oz Soppressata (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic Glaze
  • 1 box (about 8 oz) Assorted Crackers
  • 1 cup Red and Green Grapes (washed and dried)
  • 1/2 cup Dried Figs or Dates (halved lengthwise)
  • 1/2 cup Marcona Almonds (or regular roasted almonds)
  • 1/4 cup Black Olives (pitted kalamata or castelvetrano)
  • Fresh Rosemary Sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Set the Stage (5 minutes): Take brie out of fridge and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Wash and dry grapes. Arrange all ingredients on counter. Place ramekin of balsamic glaze near center of board.
  2. Place the Cheese (2 minutes): Put brie wheel in center of board. Place ramekin of balsamic glaze next to it (or pour directly later). Arrange cheddar slices and goat cheese log slices around brie, about 4-5 inches away from center.
  3. Create the Meat Ribbons (3 minutes): Tear prosciutto slices in half lengthwise, fold loosely, and place in a cluster on one side. Fan out salami and soppressata rounds in overlapping rows on opposite side.
  4. Add the Crackers (2 minutes): Group crackers in clusters around board, filling gaps between cheese and meat. Place in small, intentional piles.
  5. Fill in with Accompaniments (3 minutes): Tuck grapes, figs, and almonds into empty spaces. Place olives in a small cluster near cheddar.
  6. Draw the Web (3 minutes): Drizzle balsamic glaze in a spiral from center outward. Using offset spatula or butter knife, gently drag a line from center of spiral outward to edge. Repeat every inch or so to create 8-10 spokes.
  7. Garnish and Serve (1 minute): Tuck fresh rosemary sprigs around board. Optionally place a spider ring or plastic spider on brie. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, let cheese come to room temperature before serving. Balsamic glaze should be thick like maple syrup; if too thin, simmer to reduce. Keep center of board clear to show the web. Can assemble board (minus web) up to 2 hours ahead; add web just before serving. Store leftovers separately: cheese in airtight container (up to 5 days), meats (3-4 days), crackers at room temperature.
