A charcuterie board is a selection of cured meats, cheeses, crackers, and other accompaniments typically served as an appetizer or snack. The exact selection of items can vary depending on personal preference and what is available. To assemble a charcuterie board, simply arrange the ingredients on a platter or wooden board and serve with a knife for slicing and spreading. Enjoy!
Charcuterie, Cheese Platter or Cheese Boards
Instructions
- A good cheeseboard that’s beautifully decorated can easily be the star of your party. It’s simple to do and it makes for a wonderful wow factor. I love setting up my cheese board with interesting seasonal additions. I like doing a hard cheese, a soft sweet cheese, a savory cheese & a creamy cheese like a Burata. I always like to add a pepper jam, fruit, nuts, olives, some sort of pate or tapenade and either honey or a fruit preserve. Small slices of bread, hard mini toasts and crackers make a great addition. Put out mason jars and put fresh basil stalks and rosemary stalks in them. It adds a great visual appeal and it makes a fabulous accompaniment to the cheeses. Cheese tastes best at room temperature, so take it out an hour before your guests arrive.
