How To Make the Perfect Charcuterie Board

Variety of crackers (different shapes, sizes and flavors.)

To start,  select your board size.  This will give you a better idea of how much to purchase for your charcuterie board.  Once you&#x27;ve decided on your board place your cheeses around the board with a couple cheese knives.

Garnish edges with fresh rosemary and thyme if desired.  Place some little plates and bowls around the board that you&#x27;ll use as a guide to help arrange your board.  I space out my plates and bowls as in photos.  Once your cheeses and dishes are set on board, start arranging your meats.  Fold some of the meat for variety and fan out others flat on the board.  See photos above for ideas.

Add some of your fresh berries to the bowls/plates on your board.  Add marinated olives, artichoke hearts and sweet peppers next.  Start filling in spaces with dried fruit and nuts.  If you&#x27;ve still got room, add sliced pickles, dill pickles and cucumbers.  Fill in more spaces with nuts.  Add mustard and honey then fill in with crackers arranging around the board.  My ingredients above are just suggestions, enjoy all of your favorites!  Hope you enjoy.

Epic Charcuterie Board

Charcuterie boards are so easy to make and always make for an impressive spread. Bring one of these and you will easily be the star of your next party!

How To Make A Charcuterie Board

Primo Taglio cheese

soft cheese ((2-3 varieties, see suggestions above))

semi-firm cheeses ((or firm, 2-3 varieties, see suggestions above))

salami

fruit preserves ((fig, strawberry, raspberry, etc...))

How to Make a Charcuterie Board

On large wooden cutting board (I used one that is about 15x20&quot;) or plate arrange cheeses randomly across the board. Place mozzarella balls in a small dish to keep them from rolling around.

Next, cut meats into small servings and place on the board. Try to use a variety of sizes and textures randomly over the board.

Place fruit preserves and honey in little bowls or serving cups and place on the board.

Wash all fresh fruits and vegetables and cut into small serving sizes. Place fruit, dried fruit, vegetables, and nuts randomly across the board, again trying to use a variety of textures on different parts of the board.

Fill in all the empty spaces you can. If you have a lot of empty spaces, fill them with crackers or serve the crackers on the side.

Different Types of Cured Meats (sliced

Cheese

Nuts (I used pistachios)

Crackers

pickles (optional)

Bring in a cutting board or a cheeseboard.

Arrange the cheeses and charcuterie meat on top. I personally like to arrange it as one cheese and one cold cut followed by another cheese and another cold cut.

If you have space on the board, dried &amp; fresh fruits, nuts, crackers, olives, and pickles around. If not, place in small cups and place next to the meat and cheese platter.

To Arrange a meat and cheese board:

If serving with a dip, place it in a bowl over a small plate and serve with more crackers or bread like I did in the pictures.

Pair up with your favorite wine and serve right away.

To Serve:
