How to Make a Charcuterie Board
A Charcuterie Board is the perfect appetizer for a party. It also makes a fun and delicious family dinner recipe! Making a charcuterie board doesn't have to feel hard or complicated, I have tons of tips and tricks to make this easy!
Servings: 8 adults
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 blocks of cheese (approximately 8 ounces each)
- 1 pound deli meat see post for meat ideas
- 3 to 4 different kinds of crackers
- 2 red or orange peppers sliced
- 1 English Cucumber sliced
- 3 cups fruit see post for fruit ideas
- 1 cup nuts
- cocktail pickles or olives
- apricot spread and honey optional
Instructions
- Start by setting out the different cheeses. Slice some, cut others in cubes, and leave others whole for guests to cut. (See the post for step by step photos of the tray coming together.)
- Next add three bowls for things like apricot spread, honey, or pickles.
- Add in the meats. Fold or roll them to make them fit and be visually appealing.
- Add in the crackers.
- Fill in the gaps with fruit, sliced vegetables, and nuts.
- Replenish the things you run out of as the party goes on.
Notes
Please note that the number of people this will serve (4 to 10) depends on what else is being served. It serves less if it is acting as a meal, and it serves a great deal more if it is being served in conjunction with other food and appetizers.
