Italian Antipasto Platter

Prep the board: Slice the cheeses and toast the baguette until lightly golden. Drain excess oil from marinated vegetables and pat dry if needed.
Add the cheeses: Place the mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan evenly across a serving board to anchor the layout.
Arrange the meats: Gently fold or roll the prosciutto, salami, and capicola, and arrange them near the cheeses for easy pairing.
Fill in with antipasti: Add the olives, artichokes, peppadews, pepperoncini, roasted red peppers (or sun-dried tomatoes), and tomatoes to fill in gaps and add color.
Finish with bread: Tuck the toasted baguette slices along the edges of the board or serve them in a small bowl alongside.
