What is a Charcuterie Board?
A charcuterie board is a board or platter of small finger style foods including meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts and more. Today there are many different themes of boards including Valentine's dessert boards, bridal shower boards and more.
Charcuterie boards are perfect for gatherings because they offer a variety of options for your guests. They are extremely easy to make, but make a spectacular impression on guests.
How to Make a Charcuterie Board
To create a charcuterie board, you'll first need a board. You can really select any size of board that you like, however I recommend selecting one that you know you'll be able to cover the vast majority of the surface; purely for aesthetics I think this looks best.
Decide what type of board your want to make. Dessert, breakfast, vegetables, cheese and meat.
Style it in the shape of an object such as a candy cane or simply create a large placement of all of the items.
Enjoy!
FAQ about Charcuterie Boards
It depends what you decide to fill your board with! If you're adding cheeses and meats, you'll want to refrigerate your board for as long as possible prior to placing the board on display.
My personal favorite are water crackers. They allow you to have a not too flavorful base to smother with dips and cheeses.
My favorite dip is the garlic dip from Trader Joe's. It is so tangy and delicious.
