Ingredients

2 ½ cups heirloom tomatoes , chopped
2 garlic cloves , minced
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil , divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ tablespoon honey
8 basil leaves , torn or thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 loaf baguette bread
1 pound Assorted cheeses , such as burrata, gorgonzola and parmesan
1 pound Assorted charcuterie , such as prosciutto and salami
1 pound Grapes or other fruit
½ cup Olives
⅓ cup Sun-dried tomatoes , oil-packed
Caramelized nuts
Honey or fig jam

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, vinegar, honey and basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer bruschetta to a serving bowl.
Preheat broiler on high. Slice baguette on a diagonal about ½-inch thick and place on a baking sheet.
Brush remaining olive oil on bread slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil 2-3 minutes until golden. Be sure to watch carefully as bread burns quickly!
On a large cutting board or serving platter, arrange the bruschetta and toasted baguette with the cheeses, meats, grapes, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, nuts, and honey (or jam). Enjoy!

Notes

Cheese board arranging tips:

Start with a focal point, like the bruschetta, and build from there
Include bread or crackers
Depending on the size of your board, try to include at least 3 different cheeses and meats (if not trying to stay vegetarian)
Balance sweet fruit with something salty or briny, like olives and oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
Finish with honey or a fruit spread and your favorite nuts
