Cooking Steps
Adjust oven rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Quarter flatbreads, then cut each piece into four squares. TIP: Stack pieces on top of each other to speed up the process. In a large bowl, toss flatbread squares with 2 TBSP olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet; toast on top rack until browned, 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely (the crackers will crisp up as they cool).
Meanwhile, place dried cranberries in a small bowl with enough warm water to cover. Set aside. Roughly chop cashews. Heat a small, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add cashews, ¼ tsp cinnamon (be sure to measure; we sent more), 1 tsp sugar, 2 tsp water, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until water has evaporated and cashews are coated and lightly toasted, 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
In a second small bowl, whisk together cranberry jam and 1 tsp cranberry soaking liquid. Drain soaked cranberries; discard remaining liquid. Roughly chop cranberries. In a medium serving bowl, stir together ricotta, maple syrup, and chopped cranberries. Lightly season with salt; stir. Drizzle thinned cranberry jam over maple-ricotta mixture.
Halve, core, and thinly slice apple. Halve oranges; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Slice Grand Cru into thin wedges. Fan wedges out in two opposite corners of a large platter or board. Divide and lay out salami and coppa in two single, overlapping layers next to the Grand Cru wedges (we like to create arc shapes as we layer the slices). Fold each piece of prosciutto into a loose bundle and place next to salami and coppa. Transfer bowl with maple-cranberry ricotta to platter. Fill in any remaining gaps with flatbread crackers, cinnamon cashews, apple slices, and orange slices. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was a lovely spread and it was fun to try to prepare it like the picture. The cinnamon cashew portion was too small to be meaningful, so I amped it up with some leftover nuts from another recipe. The cheese was generously portioned. I only used one block with all the rest of the ingredients.
Overall a good value and easy to assemble, but not enough variety of cheese and crackers. We didn't care for the cranberry ricotta and ended up throwing away most of it. I added in my own Brie and fig jam, cheddar cheese, and rosemary crackers to round it out.
Great value for this! The ricotta mixture was absolutely delicious and the flatbread toasted up beautifully to a nice crunchy chip. The cashews were a miss. They came out pretty soft and soggy.
Loved the ricotta/cranberry sauce. However I would recommend on instructions for baking the flatbread squares to reduce the time to 6 minutes. At 8 minutes some of the squares were burnt.
I wish there were pictures for each step of the recipe to make it a little easier to follow but overall it was very simple. Loved loved loved the gruyere cheese!!!
Liked having this option for the holidays. I was able to use ingredients and add a few other items to make it last for 3 get togethers with family and friends.
Wonderful!! I would give it 5 stars. Please have more offerings like this. It was a hit at my get together.
We loved the cheese in this one and the selection of different meats and fruits.
This was a wonderful combination of meats and cheese. The dip was so good that it was gone in 5 min!
I would have rather had 2 apples and 1 orange instead of the other way around. Plus, you missed an opportunity to have 2 types of cheeses. This order contains 2 packages of cheese, both packaged separately. Why not have 2 types of cheese?
