I love a good Charcuterie board any time! It’s such a fun and beautiful way to present food and it can be a healthy alternative to all the indulgent treats we see during the holidays.
If you’ve always wanted to create one but you’ve been a little
intimidated (you’re not alone!) I rounded up some of the best charcuterie tips
for you.
- Start with your board! Don’t worry
about buying a fancy new board. Grab a cutting board or tray from your
kitchen. Honestly, any flat surface will work! You can even lay butcher
paper on your kitchen island. Be creative!
- Add in some small bowls. Jams,
mustards, honey, and dips are perfect for a charcuterie board and
spreading little bowls across your board adds lots of visual interest.
- Add in your meats and cheeses. To
keep the interest visually, try using both slices and cubes. Wedges of
cheese with small serving knives look really impressive too.
- Add breads and crackers. This is a critical building
block when your guests start to layer all the flavors. You want something
sturdy and you also want a couple of different options – think 2 to 4.
- Fill
in the gaps with fruit and garnish. Use fruit that’s in season and easy to
pick up or grab a variety of dried fruits.
- If you have a chocolate lover crowd then toss in a few wrapped chocolate candies too.
