Ingredients

  • Fresh greenery for the base
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for the base
  • 8 ounces white sharp cheddar cheese cubed
  • 8 ounces yellow cheddar cheese cubed
  • 4-6 ounces Prosciutto di Parma torn into chunks
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella pearls
  • 1 cup Cherry or grape tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup cured olives pitted
  • Star bread chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start with the fresh greenery, forming a large circle on a round wood board or platter. Add the rosemary sprigs, filling any gaps that weren't covered by the leaves.
  2. You can then start arranging the remaining ingredients on top of the green base. I like to start with the cheese and prosciutto and then fill the empty spaces with the tomatoes and olives.
  3. Finish by adding the star crackers, if using. If you’re serving large crackers or bread, skip this step and serve on the side! I also like to serve a little bowl of olive oil drizzled with balsamic vinegar, so my guests can dip the mozzarella pearls.

Notes

  • You can assemble the board up to one day ahead and keep it refrigerated.
  • Cheese and charcuterie are best enjoyed at room temperature (67 to 70 degrees F). So make sure to take them out of the fridge at least 1 hour (and up to 2 hours) before serving.
  • If you live in a warmer climate, 15-30 minutes will do. You don't want to leave the cheese out too long or it will get oily.
  • You should calculate 1 to 1 1/2 ounces of each cheese per person. Just use that formula to increase or decrease the size of this board, based on your needs!
