Description
These Simple Charcuterie Board ideas make it so easy to put together a perfect board & still feature a huge variety of options.
Ingredients
- Cheese Ideas: Brie, Cheddar, Mozzarella, Gouda, Colby Jack, etc.
- Meat Ideas: 1 package of thinly sliced salami for the Salami Rose, Pepperoni, Prosciutto
- Small Serving bowl Ideas: Pepper jelly, Pimento Cheese, Olives, Honey
- Crackers: Variety Pack of Crackers, Triscuits, Asiago Cheese Crisps, Pretzels
- Nuts: Pistachios, Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews or Pecans
- Fruits: Whatever is in season and fresh (only need 1 or 2)
- Sweets ideas: Chocolate Covered pretzels, broken apart candy bar, small brownies or cookies, etc.
Instructions
- Start with the empty board.
- Organize the meats and cheeses on the board, spreading them out a bit. You don't want all the meat in one area and all the cheese in another. Give them some space.
- For the meat, I love doing a Salami rose (or two).
- Add any little bowls of olives or honey, for example, onto the board.
- Next, work in the crackers. (Crackers you can always serve on the side too, if you are running out of room. They also have less possibility of getting soggy this way.)
- Finally the fruit, nuts, and sweets.
