Charcuterie Board Recipe

Step 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.

Step 2

Meats. Fold them in a variety of patterns. Watch the video to see how to fold meat for a charcuterie board.

Step 3

Pickled Items. Anything that requires a dish such as pickles and olives goes down next so you can gauge your space.

Step 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.

Step 5

Fresh Fruit. Pre-cut grapes and pre-slice apples, rinse, and pat dry berries. Arrange fruit next to cheeses they pair well with.

Step 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.

Step 7

Arrange crackers and toasts in remaining spaces or place them on a separate shallow bowl for serving.
