- 8 ounces medium cheddar cheese cut into wedges or cubes
- 2 cups assorted pastries croissants, mini muffins, or scones
- 2 cups fresh fruit washed and dried

Instructions
Instructions
- Set the cheese, pastries, fruit, spreads, and optional nuts or yogurt on the counter so everything is ready to arrange.
- Place the bowls of jam and maple syrup or honey on a large board, leaving space around them for the other foods.
- Arrange the cheese in two or three small clusters, then add pastries in loose groups so guests can reach them easily.
- Fill the remaining spaces with fruit and nuts, keeping wet items in bowls and leaving a few open areas for visual balance.
- Serve immediately, or cover and chill the board briefly; bring it back to room temperature before serving for the best cheese texture.
Notes
A brunch board works best when contrasting textures are spread across the board rather than grouped in one corner.
