Instructions
- Decide where you are setting up your charcuterie spread. Cover the area with butcher paper, if desired.
- Gather your display pieces – cutting boards, platters, cooking sheets, trays, butcher paper… whatever you’ve got on hand. Keep it easy and casual.
- Next, place your empty serving pieces such as small bowls, plates, dishes, etc. out in a way that looks pleasing to your eye. (Sometimes I even add sticky notes to my serving pieces so I know what I’m putting in each one....I'm super forgetful.)
- Add your blocks of cheese, placing them around the serving pieces you’ve already laid out.
- Place your assorted meats around the cheeses, either on serving trays or right on the butcher paper. Now add assorted fruits, crackers, pretzels, toasted breads, placing them in spots that are open within the charcuterie board.
- Fill your serving pieces with creamy cheeses, olives, pickles, mustards, jams, dips, as desired. If desired, add some sweets.
- Garnish the charcuterie spread with fresh herbs, mini peppers, whatever!
- Lastly, add your serving tools, such as tongs, spoons, cheese knives, etc.
