Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Cut the pepper Jack into 1-inch cubes. Cut the cheese slices into smaller squares, and if desired, use a cookie cutter to make star shapes. Use a large star-shaped cutter on the brie, remove the center, and fill it with cranberry sauce, jam, or honey.
  2. Layer the salami in a line and fan it out. Roll it up, securing it with a toothpick. Make small and big roses by trying different slices. Repeat with the remaining salami.
  3. After preparing the cheese and salami, create an outline for the wreath using fresh herbs along the outer edge. Then, form a smaller circle in the center of the board. Feel free to make adjustments as needed.
  4. Outline the wreath with fresh herbs. Place cranberry brie round onto the board, then add the salami roses on opposite ends, next place the crackers, nuts, olives, and cheese cubes on different areas of the board.
  5. Separate the prosciutto and roll the pieces or fan it out, and put two bunches on opposite sides of the board. Next, fill the gaps with fruit, then add herb sprigs for a fuller wreath, and decorate with the cut-out star cheese.
  6. Serve with extra cranberry sauce and honey on the side.

Notes

For an added festive touch, arrange ingredients in a circular pattern resembling a wreath. Use fresh herbs to enhance aroma and aesthetics.
