Ingredients

  • This is a different recipe from me, but let’s break down putting a fun cheese charcuterie board together.
  • Number One: For the table, layout a couple fun placemats.
  • Number Two: Choose a platter and it can be a big board, tray or dish.
  • Number Four: Cured meat. And have two or three of those like prosciutto, salami or pepperoni. And fold them in half to look nice.
  • Number Five: Nuts and have two. Some great ones are candied pecans or walnuts, salted marcona almonds, or pistachios.
  • Number Six: Crackers and Breads. I recommend doing a crostini in your broiler with just some olive oil on thin slices of baguette and simple crackers.
  • Number Seven: Something sweet and have two. You have a lot of latitude with this category as it can be dried sweet apricots, grapes, a jar of fig jam, honey and/or truffles.
  • Number Eight: Olives
  • Number Nine: Lay sprigs of fresh rosemary or your favorite herbs for flavor and presentation.
