various cured (I preferred non-cured versions) meats such as proscuitto, salami, pepperoni, dried chorizo, or sausageStandard rule of thumb is 2oz of meat per person you plan to serve
variety of cheeses (brie, goat cheese, parmesan cheese, havarti, white cheddar, sharp cheddar, gouda)
Use a large serving board, cutting boards work great too. Arrange the meat and cheeses throughout the plate. I roll up the prosciutto and I like to angle the block cheese. You can stack meat like salami.
Decide which ingredients will be served in dipping bowls, such as jams, spreads, or artichokes.
Carefully style the crackers, sweet treats, nuts, vegetables, etc around the board and serving bowls.
