11 - 1/2 cup roasted almonds
12 - 1/2 cup mixed olives (green and black)

16 - 1 cup whipped feta dip or hummus
17 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, for drizzling

# Steps:

01 - Place a small bowl in the center of a large round serving platter and fill it with whipped feta dip or hummus. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper.
02 - Position rosemary sprigs and olive branches in a circular formation around the bowl to create the wreath foundation.
03 - Evenly distribute Brie wedges, aged cheddar cubes, and goat cheese rounds around the foliage, alternating varieties to enhance color and texture.
04 - Fold or roll prosciutto and salami slices, tucking them between cheese pieces. Omit this step for a fully vegetarian presentation.

06 - Distribute roasted almonds, mixed olives, pomegranate arils, and dried cranberries evenly over the wreath for bursts of flavor and visual appeal.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • It's a showstopper that requires zero cooking, just thoughtful arranging—you can build it while catching up with loved ones in the kitchen
  • The festive wreath shape instantly transforms any gathering into something special and memorable, whether it's an intimate dinner or a holiday party
  • You control every element, so it's effortlessly customizable for dietary preferences, and guests always find something they absolutely love
02 -
  • Slice the brie and soft cheeses as close to serving time as possible—they firm up as they sit, and part of their magic is that soft, melting quality
  • The grapes must be halved or guests will chase whole ones around the board, and the pomegranate arils must go on last or they'll stain everything a beautiful but perhaps too bold crimson
  • This board is best served within 2 hours of assembly; after that, the cheeses begin sweating slightly and the whole thing loses its sharp, fresh appeal
03 -
  • If you can find micro herbs or edible flowers at your market, tuck them around the board just before serving—they add a layer of sophistication and freshness that takes the entire presentation from 'impressive' to 'restaurant quality'
  • Chill your serving board in the freezer for 30 minutes before assembling; the cold slows down the cheeses sweating and keeps everything fresher looking throughout your gathering
