Ingredients

Scale

Cheeses:

  • 6 ounces assorted cured meats (prosciutto, salami, soppressata)
  • 6 ounces assorted cheeses (hard, soft, and blue)

Accompaniments:

  • 1/2 cup mixed olives
  • 1/2 cup cornichons or pickles

  • 1/4 cup whole grain or Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup jam or honey
  • 1 baguette sliced or assorted crackers

Garnish:

  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Arrange Cheeses: Start with a large wooden board or platter. Arrange the cheeses first, spacing them out across the board.
  2. Add Meats: Fold or roll the cured meats and place them in clusters near the cheeses.
  3. Include Accompaniments: Add small bowls for olives, pickles, mustard, and jam. Fill in empty spaces with nuts, fruit, and bread or crackers.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • The key to a great charcuterie board is variety in textures and flavors—salty, sweet, crunchy, and creamy.
  • Pre-slice cheeses for easy serving and bring them to room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
