Whipped feta is trendy and delicious. If you can get labneh, it’s great served with olive oil and za’atar.

You take feta and whip it in a food processor until fluffy and spreadable. It takes longer than you expect, but be patient and it’s delicious.

Baked Brie is delicious and easy. Essentially you bake the Brie with a nice jam or you can get a bit fancier.
Here are some suggestions.

Does this need to be freshly baked
I’m not getting up that early.
As soon as DH finishes davening we make kiddush and have lighting dairy
It’s for the “breakfast” kiddush
So I prefer to serve cold
Can sliced eggs go in a cheese board
So far I have
A small roll of goat cheese rolled in herb
Different slices of cheese from the multipack
Syrian String/Braided cheese
Black olives
Green olives
Roasted red pepper from a jar sliced
Sliced cucumber
Sliced tomato
Sliced eggs
Flax seed crackers
Hemp seed bread sliced - cococktail size
Does it need anything else?
I m planning to set it up Thursday afternoon for Friday morning cover with Saran Wrap

If you just top the brie with jam and nuts or honey, it "bakes" very quickly because you are essentially just warming it for about 7 to 10 minutes so the brie and the topping gets "melty" and delicious.
Take a look at this page which is a template for the brie topped with your choice of jam and nuts. It really makes a delicious very easy way to elevate brie.

There are other versions of baked brie which use phyllo or puff pastry to wrap the brie and the filling. You can pre these the day before but they do take longer to actually cook because you need to "bake" the wrapping.

Brie is a fairly mild "creamy" cheese. It has a distinctive taste but isn't sharp. It's a pretty standard "party" cheese. If you have never had it, try it. It's even very good without the "frills" - just plain - but the combination of the sweet and the cheese is delicious and so easy - no one would suspect how easy it is because it seems so "gourmet".
Brie is typically eaten "cold" so you wouldn't need reheat it any leftovers although I guess you could. It's a soft cheese even when not heated so it's typically served on a cracker or piece of hard type of bread. You don't spread it like a cream cheese but kind of "smoosh" it as it has a soft creamy texture.
Cheese is not best eaten "cold" out of the refrigerator as it needs to sit for a short period to soften a bit. Letting it sit for a bit after taking it out lets the flavors bloom. It's really a big difference in flavor and texture when you let it sit - it's why the cheese at a party tastes better after an hour or so if you haven't let it sit before serving.

I’m excited to try this
I’m guessing I can top it before hand and put it in the oven a few minutes before serving
Can it go in the oven straight from the fridge
If I present it on a cheese board, should I put it in the center or to one side
What looks nicer.

Sure but it's easy enough to make the topping the day before and then spread it on when you are ready to bake since that way you don't have to take out the cheese and try to rewrap it with the sticky topping. SO I personally would wait until the morning to actually smear the topping on but make the topping the day before.
ETA - Yes take cheese out of refrigerator and spread on topping and bake. By baking it, you don't have to let it sit to get soft and mellow since the baking does that for you.
You can use as a centerpiece depending on what else you have or you can arrange a pretty cheese board and then have this to the side. There really is no wrong or right way.

Take a look at the link as it gives very good tips on how to prepare it. Generally 7 to 10 minutes but you don't want to cook it too long or it dries out.
Leftovers don't have to be reheated because then you would just leave out for a bit to soften the cheese and topping and then serve as a nosh with some crackers or even toast.
Here is link which has great tips and pictures

As I was sitting here thinking about party cheeses, I remembered pimento cheese. This is a wonderful way to dress up cheese and can even be used as a delicious sandwich - grilled cheese sandwich or just with crackers.
It's a classic recipe so there are as many variants as there are Southern Bubbes - my joke since it's a traditional food of the American South so each family would have its own recipe just as each Jewish family would use their Bubbe's recipe for kreplach, matzoh balls etc.
Pimento Cheese
Pimento cheese is a tangy and creamy cheese spread that’s often referred to as the pâté of the South. It’s wonderful on crackers, crudités, sandwiches, or even burgers.
Servings: About 3-1/2 cups
Total Time: 15 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann's or Duke's
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 (8-oz) block sharp Cheddar cheese (a good supermarket brand like Tillamook or Cabot is fine)
1 (4-oz) jar diced pimentos, drained
INSTRUCTIONS
Food processor instructions: In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Process until smooth and evenly combined.
Remove the blade, scraping any of the mixture back into the bowl. Switch to the grating blade. Cut the Cheddar cheese into pieces that will fit into the feed tube. With the machine running, add the cheese through the feed tube until it is all grated in. Transfer the contents of the food processor to a large mixing bowl. Add the diced pimentos and stir everything together to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. (I usually add about 1/4 teaspoon more salt, but it depends on the saltiness of the cheese.)
Mixer instructions: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or beaters, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Beat until smooth and evenly combined. Coarsely grate the Cheddar cheese and mix in along with the diced pimentos. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. (It's a good idea to taste the pimento cheese on the crackers you plan to serve it with, as the saltiness can vary.)
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and serve with crackers and/or crudités. If serving later, cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days; bring to room temperature
