# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms ordinary breakfast items into something that feels like an occasion
  • You can prep everything in advance and just assemble when hungry people appear
  • Everyone gets to build exactly what they want on their plate
02 -
  • Cold cheese tastes flat, so take everything out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before assembling
  • Odd numbers look more natural and abundant than even arrangements
  • Leave some empty spaces so guests can see the board itself, which feels more inviting than overcrowding
03 -
  • Group similar flavors together so people intuitively know what works with what
  • Put small items like nuts and berries in little piles, not scattered everywhere
  • Always have more napkins than you think you need, this can get wonderfully messy
