# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking means you can assemble this even when you're completely drained.
  • It feels indulgent and fancy but costs less than takeout and uses what you already have.
  • You can eat it slowly, savoring each bite, or devour it in five minutes without judgment.
02 -
  • Take the cheeses out of the fridge fifteen minutes early so they soften and taste like themselves.
  • If your apple slices start browning, a quick squeeze of lemon juice keeps them looking fresh.
  • Don't crowd the board, empty space makes it look intentional instead of chaotic.
03 -
  • Odd numbers look better than even, so use three cheeses, five clusters of fruit, and it all feels balanced.
  • A tiny bowl of flaky sea salt next to the cheese lets people season to taste and feels luxurious.
  • If you're really tired, buy pre-sliced everything and nobody will know or care.
