Notes
If you are only making one serving, you only need a few of each item. If you’re making a platter to feel multiple people, assume 2-4 pieces of each item per person. With so many edibles on the plate, you’ll fill up fast!
To make this vegetarian, simply omit the meat and add an additional hard boiled egg.
If you want a little bit more sweetness, serve it with a dollop of chocolate hazelnut spread and some bread or cut up fruit to spread it on.
