Ingredients

Servings

Cheeses:

  • 8 oz Brie cheese
  • 6 oz manchego cheese cut into thin slices
  • 8 oz triple cream cheese sold at Costo as a 16 oz, Bourgogne
  • 12 oz fresh mozzarella marinated, balls
  • 8 oz White Cheddar Cheese diced, Vermont

Meats:

  • 8 oz salami
  • 2 oz prosciutto
  • 2 oz coppa dried

Pickled Items:

  • 1/3 cup olives or pitted green olives, stuffed
  • 1/3 cup kalamata olives pitted
  • 1 cup dill pickles or Gerkins, baby size

Fruit:

  • 2 cups grapes cut into sections
  • 2 cups strawberry or figs
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 apple or pear

Spreads and Condiments:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fruit spread (we love fig and strawberry)

Accompaniments:

  • 1 cup pecan or a variety of nuts
  • 1 cup walnut
  • 1 cup pistachio
  • 3 oz dark chocolate bar broken into bite-sized pieces

Crackers or Toasts:

  • 4 oz water cracker
  • 4 oz artisan crackers
  • 1 baguette sliced into toasts (brushed with olive oil and baked at 400˚F for 6-8 minutes)

Instructions

  1. Cheeses. Arrange them around the board. I pre-slice hard cheeses so they serve easier and cut a few wedges out of the brie to encourage guests to dig in.
  2. Meats. Fold them in a variety of patterns. Watch the video to see how to fold meat for a charcuterie board.
  3. Pickled Items. Anything that requires a dish such as pickles and olives goes down next so you can gauge your space.
  4. Condiments and Spreads. Place condiments next to cheeses they pair well with (i.e. honey next to brie). Keep condiments in separate jars and ramekins to keep the board clean.
  5. Fresh Fruit. Pre-cut grapes and pre-slice apples, rinse, and pat dry berries. Arrange fruit next to cheeses they pair well with.
  6. Nuts and Extras. I like to place pecans or walnuts and pistachios next to brie or soft cheeses. I also like to add chocolate which is delicious with cheese.
  7. Arrange crackers and toasts in remaining spaces or place them on a separate shallow bowl for serving.
