EPIC Red, White, Blue July 4th Charcuterie Board

It’s mixed with everything red, white, and blue. Perfect for this patriotic holiday!

How to make a cheese board

Start with an epic board. My boards are food safe, and they have a lip around the outside edge so the food stays on the board. There’s nothing worse than going to a party and within minutes, the food is everywhere!

1. Place small boards on the board to accomodate cheese, salsas, dips, nuts, or small foods.
2. Fill in the empty spaces with various foods (crackers, fruits, meats, cheese).
3. Always add some sort of sweet “nosh.”
4. Serve right away!

Place the brie cheese in the center, and set small bowls around it (with various foods, like dips and salsas).

Don’t forget the cheese knives.

We love to use good quality cured meats (either from DeLallo Foods or I buy at Fred Meyer). And a little sweet nosh?

Look at the pretty “blue” Lindt chocolates!

We bought our wood bowls from Lark in downtown Bend (one of my favorite stores!) but you can grab more nesting bowls in my store at House of Hyacinth. Don’t you just love the olive nesting bowls? Perfect for these delicious big boards!

Here’s a “smokey” version of Jarlsberg Cheese Dip, Game Day Smokey Jarlsberg Dip Recipe.or you can buy the regular at Fred Meyer.

Fill in the open areas with the remaining ingredients.

Blueberry Caprese Skewers

These Blueberry Caprese Bites? You can grab the recipe and shopping list right here, 4th of July Blueberry Caprese Skewers.

These little skewers you can  make ahead so they are ready to go on the board!

Serve right away and expect everyone to just DIG RIGHT IN!

As a child, not only did I love the fireworks, but when I’d hear America the Beautiful, well, it still gets me every time. The words go straight to my soul!
