Equipment

  • Charcuterie Board
  • Ramekins and Dip Bowls
  • Cheese Knives, etc

Ingredients

  • 3 oz Cured or smoked meats see post for suggestions
  • 3 oz Cheese see post for suggestions
  • Crackers see post for suggestions
  • Produce Sauces, Snack Items, and Garnishes as desired - see post for suggestions.

Instructions

Place the Main Items

  • Decide which are your focal point items - wheels or chunks of cheese, sauce ramekins, dip bowls, etc - on the charcuterie tray.
    In this case, I started with the cheeses, meats, and dip/sauce ramekins.
  • Place your meats roughly where you’d like them to go, then place your remaining cheeses. Try to set these major items out such that you'll have relative even sections of colour.

Fill in the Secondary Items

  • Arrange sections of your produce and starches - fruit, vegetables, crackers, cookies, bread - if including them on the board.
    For this Halloween charcuterie board, I placed the black grapes and pepper first, then added carrots, figs, and blood orange slices.
  • Place sections of your “Munchies” items, filling in any larger empty spaces. This halloween platter involved white chocolate pretzels, pumpkin seeds, cornichons, dried apricots, and olives.

Final Touches

  • Arrange your meat and cheese slices more artfully, if desired.
  • Fill in any sparsely covered areas with more meat, cheese, produce, etc.
  • Add dips to the bowls, if applicable, then garnish as desired. I like these plastic skeleton serving forks.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Nutritional information will vary wildly based on what you serve, and how much you're serving along with the charcuterie board.
