Equipment
- 1 Wood Board
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 Cutting
- Disposable Food Safe Gloves **optional, not required
Ingredients
- 4 ounces salami
- 4 ounces prosciutto
- 4 ounces spicy salami spressata, calibrese
- 6 ounces brie cheese
- 6 ounces sharp cheddar
- 4 ounes herbed cheese Boursin or alloette
- assorted crackers
- 8 ounces green or red grapes
- 8 ounces strawberries washed and cut in half with the stem on
- 2 ounces mustard whole grain or dijon
- 2 ounces fruit spread fig, sour cherry, quince
- mixed nuts
- gherkins or assorted olives **optional
Instructions
- Begin assembling the charcuterie board by folding the salami and prosciutto in decorative patterns. Place them in the charcuterie board through the center, but leaving space in between for other food items.
- Next, prepare the cheeses by cutting into individual pieces and laying on the board in small decorative piles or design to fill in around the meat.
- Now place the jars of mustard and fruit spread.
- Add anything being served in a small bowl such as olives or gherkins.
- Lastly, add some assorted crackers, prepared fruit, and mixed nuts to fill in any empty space.
Notes
When designing your charcuterie board put like items next each other. For example, brie and prosciutto pairs together nicely with a fruit spread. Place salami next to sharper cheeses like aged cheddar and have the mustard close to them.
Eliminate empty space by keeping ingredients tightly together and fill in with nuts, candy, or fruit at the end.
