How to Store, Freeze & Reheat

Serve this platter at room temperature for the best flavor, and let guests dig in right away. It’s perfect for Christmas parties, but also great for New Year’s Eve or any cozy winter gathering. Pair it with a sparkling wine or a spiced cider for a truly merry touch.

If you have leftovers, store the components separately—cheeses in parchment, meats in a sealed container, and fruits in a loose bag. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. To refresh, just let everything come to room temperature again and re-drizzle a little honey before serving.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Start with a large wooden board or platter. Place the brie wedge and cheddar cubes in opposite corners to anchor the board.
  2. Fold the prosciutto into loose ribbons and the salami into triangles, then arrange them in separate sections along the board's edges.
  3. Fill in the gaps with clusters of red grapes, dried figs, and marcona almonds, creating color contrast and easy grab spots.
  4. Drizzle honey over the brie and a few fig pieces for a sweet touch. Tuck fresh rosemary sprigs between the items for a festive look.
  5. Serve immediately with crackers or crostini on the side, and let guests build their own perfect bites.

👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage

Always slice your cheeses at room temperature for the best flavor and texture—pull them out of the fridge 30 minutes before assembling. Leftover platter parts keep in the fridge for up to 3 days; store cheeses wrapped in parchment, meats in airtight containers, and grapes loosely covered.

Pinterest Kitchen Tip: Save this recipe to your @recipestokitchen board so you can pull up the ingredient checklist at the grocery store!
