Dairy panel provides platter for brie? (11)

'dairy panel' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'platter for brie?' is the wordplay.
'platter' becomes 'board' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'brie?' becomes 'cheese' (brie is a kind of cheese).
'board' put after 'cheese' is 'CHEESEBOARD'.

'provides' acts as a link.
