To calculate meat/cheese per person: Aim for 2-3 oz. of meat per person and 2-3 oz. cheese per person for an appetizer. For a 2-3 person board, that would be 4-6 oz. meat and 4-6 oz. cheese. Double the portion of meat and cheese if it will be served as a main course. For a 2-3 person board, that would be 8-12 oz. meat and 8-12 oz. cheese.
