Notes
- This recipe is designed for a 9×12-inch platter or serving board. For larger platters or serving boards, the recipe can be easily doubled, tripled, or quadrupled.
- Quantities of cheese and meat are listed in slices rather than ounces or pounds since this can vary greatly, depending on how thick the slice is.
- Pre-sliced cheeses and meats can be found in a variety of places throughout your grocery store, including the dairy section, hot dog/bacon section, specialty cheese section, or specialty cured meats section. The deli counter will also have cured meats like salami, pepperoni, and prosciutto that you can buy by the slice.
