  • 8 oz white cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup red grapes
  • 0.5 cup pepperoni slices
Blue Ingredients
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 0.5 cup blue corn chips

  • 1 fresh rosemary sprigs

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Build the board
  1. Place the brie cheese and white cheddar cheese on a large wooden serving board so they anchor the center area. Keep the cheeses at room temperature for easier serving and a softer spread.
  2. Arrange bowls of blueberries and raspberries around the cheeses with a clear visual ring in the blue and red sections. Leave a little space between bowls for snacks and cracker clusters.
  3. Fill the empty spaces with strawberries, red grapes, and pepperoni slices so each color appears in multiple spots across the board. Distribute pepperoni for balanced salty bites throughout.
  4. Add assorted crackers and blue corn chips in decorative clusters. Vary the height by placing some crackers upright so they read clearly from a distance.
  5. Scatter mozzarella pearls and white chocolate covered pretzels throughout the board. Tuck the white snacks between cheese and fruit for contrast and easy grabbing.
  6. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs. Place a few sprigs near the cheeses so the green accents frame the patriotic colors.
  7. Drizzle honey over the brie just before serving. Add it at the end to keep the board looking fresh and prevent crackers from softening.
  8. Serve immediately after assembling. Keep refrigerated snacks chilled until the last moment, then place them on the board right before guests arrive.

Notes

Pro tip: assemble everything except the honey, cover, and refrigerate up to 4 hours; drizzle honey right before serving for the best texture. If you want a lighter option, swap in reduced-fat brie or cheddar without changing the board layout. Freezing isn’t recommended for fresh fruit and crackers.
