Thoughts? If a friend asked for inspiration, what should I add? (We often have someone bring cheese & fancy crackers, so might steer away from that combo.)
Add deviled eggs.

A container of Boursin cheese next to a baguette that nobody has bothered to slice up, because no guest is actually going to eat said Boursin or baguette.
