Directions

1. Prepare the Brie:

Place the brie on a cutting board. For easier handling, chill the brie in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes beforehand.
Hold the brie steady with one hand and slice it horizontally into two even layers.
Place layers back together and cut the brie into four equal quarters to create triangles.
Using mini cookie cutters, cut out one shape per quarter. Reserve cut-outs to decorate your board.
Spread blueberry preserves over the bottom layer of two quarters and strawberry preserves over the bottom layer of two quarters.
Arrange top quarters over the preserves.

2. Prepare the Salami Roses:

Lay salami slices on a flat surface overlapping. The number of slices you use will determine the size and fullness of the rose. Aim for about 6–10 slices per rose.
Fold row of salami slices in half.
Begin rolling the folded row of salami until the entire row is rolled into a rose. Pinch the base to secure.
Gently arrange petals to create more fullness that will resemble a rose.

3. Arrange Board:

Arrange brie triangles, salami roses, berries, and grapes on heart shaped board. Place brie cut-outs over the top of the berries.
Serve with flatbreads, baguette slices, or crackers.
