Recipe Questions & Answers

How can I make the board vegan-friendly?

Replace cheeses with plant-based alternatives and omit boiled eggs and smoked salmon. Add extra fruits, nuts, and plant-based spreads for variety and protein.

What breads work best for this spread?

Toasted sourdough, croissants, and mini bagels provide a mix of textures and flavors that complement the fresh fruits and cheeses beautifully.

Can I prepare parts of the board ahead of time?

Prep fruits and toast the breads in advance, but assemble everything just before serving to keep the board fresh and vibrant.

What protein options are included besides eggs and salmon?

Boiled eggs and smoked salmon are the featured proteins, but nuts and nut butters also add plant-based protein and healthy fats.
