Notes
⭐ Tips
- If you don't have one board that's big enough, or if there are food allergies to consider, you can always use a second board.
- Be sure to add tongs, small spoons and/or forks for serving.
- When adding items like the cheese that won’t lay easily, put a couple small bowls under it to stabilize it.
💭 Frequently Asked Questions
