Prepare a serving platter and line with parchment if needed. Slice the red pepper and strawberries. On a skewer, place a cherry tomato, mozzarella pearl, and blackberry. Use a star-shaped cutter to cut stars from provolone and remove the star shape from the brie casing, filling the center with fruit jam.

To assemble, have all the individual items prepared. On your serving platter, begin with the larger, more statement pieces first (brie, skewers, crackers, etc.). Small loose items are also good in bowls to add dimension, keep them contained, and are aesthetically pleasing.

Place the smaller, secondary items around the larger items, such as peppers, strawberries,

meats, blueberries, raspberries, etc.

Finally, top the board with the star-shaped cheeses - place on top of the blueberries or

raspberries for a striking contrast.
