- To assemble the brie, place the brie on the board and spread the jam across the top. Top with small sprigs of rosemary and cranberries, if desired. Place on the board
- Place the olives, hummus, and candied pecans in individual, small bowls and add to the board.
- Then, add in the remaining elements as you'd like, fanning out items like crackers, pears, salami, and cucumber slices. Serve and enjoy!
