Prep and arrange cheeses
Arrange the cheddar, Brie, and Manchego on a serving board. Slice the cheddar and Manchego into bite-sized pieces and present the Brie as a wheel or wedges to showcase its creamy texture.

Make marinated olives
In a bowl, combine the mixed marinated olives with olive oil, lemon zest, thinly sliced garlic, chopped thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes. Toss to coat and let rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes. For deeper flavor, refrigerate for up to 24 hours and allow to come to room temperature before serving.

Prepare bread and crackers
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch rounds. Lightly toast if desired. Arrange crackers on the board in a separate area.

Assemble and garnish
Place the marinated olives in a small bowl on the board. Fan or chunk the cheese pieces around the olives. Add the baguette rounds and crackers around the board. Finish with a light garnish of thyme sprigs if desired.

Serve
Serve immediately with small cheese knives for the cheeses and tongs for the olives. If not serving right away, refrigerate the olives and cheeses promptly; bring to room temperature before serving.
