Instructions
Charcuterie Board Instructions
- First, pick the perfect board.
- Add the small dishes of chocolates, jams, nuts, and cheese spread to your board. Be sure to include plenty of cheese knives.
- Add your cheeses. Remember, 4 to 5 different kinds of cheese are best. Avoid adding large blocks of cheese. Instead, cut them up into 1-2 inch slices.
- Add your meats. Lay your meats in piles next to the cheeses. You can fan them out flat or fold them into loose rolls.
- Add the crackers and bread close to the meats and cheeses around the outside of the board.
- Fill in the holes on your board with fruits and vegetables, or add them onto a separate smaller board near the main charcuterie board.
- Serve and enjoy!
