Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 wheel Brie cheese (for decorative leaf cutout)
  • 8 oz aged cheddar, cubed
  • 6 oz pumpkin spice cheese (seasonal option)
  • 6 oz sage-infused cheese (seasonal option)
  • 4 oz salami, sliced
  • 4 oz pepperoni, sliced
  • 3 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots
  • 2 fresh apples, sliced
  • 2 fresh pears, sliced
  • 68 fresh figs, halved
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 oz fig jam
  • 3 oz apricot spread
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin hummus (seasonal option)
  • Assorted crackers and breadsticks
  • 1/2 sliced baguette
  • Leaf-shaped tortilla chips
  • Maple leaf cookies
  • 34 mini pumpkins for decoration

Instructions

  1. Select a large wooden cutting board or platter, preferably 18 inches or larger. A lazy Susan-style board works best for easy access.
  2. Slice off top quarter inch of Brie wheel. Use leaf-shaped cookie cutter to cut decorative shape, spread apricot jam on bottom, replace cutout piece.
  3. Place decorated Brie, mini pumpkins, and caramel bowl in triangular pattern across board for visual balance.
  4. Place remaining seasonal cheeses in different board sections, cubing aged cheddar and positioning specialty varieties strategically.
  5. Fold or roll cured meats and arrange near cheeses, draping prosciutto in elegant folds near Brie.
  6. Fill small bowls with jams and dips, positioning strategically – honey near nuts, fig jam near cheddar.
  7. Scatter autumn fruits and nuts around cheeses and meats, placing apple slices near caramel for natural pairing.
  8. Arrange crackers, maple cookies, and sliced baguette around edges for easy serving access.

Notes

  • Shop deli section for unique seasonal cheese varieties. Ask cheese counter staff about limited-time fall options like pumpkin spice or sage-infused cheeses.
  • Take flatlay photo of empty board and sketch layout before assembly for best results. Assemble no more than 2 hours before serving.
