What is a charcuterie board?
A charcuterie board is a tray, platter, or board of cured meats, cheese, fruit and nuts. Here at Reluctant Entertainer, we recommend a board with a lip around the outside. This allows you to fill the board completely and not have the crackers or other food items fall off.
How to arrange a charcuterie board
- I always start with the center of the board, with a “center star” food item. For this board, I made a plate of cut-out heart slices of cheese and whole grain bread, and rolled ham slices.
- Fill the open spaces with the remaining foods.
- Always put small messy food items in a small dish (ie, pickles).
