Step 1: Choose your meat types (sausage & bacon)

• Select one or two types of sausage, ideally smoked or matured, and combine them with bacon.
  
  

• Slice the sausage thinly or cut it into small pieces.
  
  

• Bacon can be cold-smoked, air-dried, or crisped in the oven/pan as desired.
  
  

Step 2: Choose two to three types of cheese

Ideally, choose 2-3 types of cheese with different textures and flavors.

Step 3: Add bread, pickles & extras

Perfect additions include:

• Olives or pickled vegetables (add acidity)
  
  

• Nuts such as almonds, walnuts or pistachios (for crunch)
  
  

• Fresh or dried fruits such as grapes, apple slices, figs or apricots
  
  

Step 4: Arrange the platter – with balance and variety

• Start by placing the cheeses.
  
  

• Arrange the sausage and bacon next to each other so that guests can easily combine them.
  
  

• Distribute bread, fruit, nuts and pickles around the perimeter.
  
  

• Use small bowls for olives, dips, or mustard.
  
  

Combinations that work particularly well:

• Crispy bacon & soft cheese
  
  

• Cheese + Sausage + Fruit
  
  

• Creamy cheese + smoky sausage
  
  

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy – Let guests combine freely
