Ingredients

  • Cheese cubes (such as cheddar, monterey jack, swiss) (1 cup)
  • Cheese slices (cheddar, monterey jack, swiss) (6-8 slices)

Meats

  • Salami (12-15 slices)
  • Honey ham, deli cut (8-10 slices)

Pastries

  • Donut holes (12-15 pieces)
  • Mini croissants (6-8 pieces)

Fruits

  • Kiwi (1, peeled and sliced)
  • Strawberries (1 cup, halved)
  • Blueberries (1/2 cup)
  • Grapes (1 cup, red or green)
  • Blackberries (1/2 cup)
  • Raspberries (1/2 cup)
  • Orange (1, peeled and segmented)

Sweet Additions

  • Honey (2 tablespoons, for drizzling)
  • Chocolate hearts (about 8-10 pieces)
  • Chocolate covered raisins (1/4 cup)
  • Andes mints (6 pieces)

Optional

  • Fresh flowers (for decoration, if desired)

Instructions

  1. Place the Brie: Position the wheel of Brie cheese in the center of a large wooden tray or cookie sheet to serve as the focal point of your charcuterie board.
  2. Drizzle and Garnish Brie: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the Brie, then sprinkle a few fresh blackberries and raspberries on top to add color and complementary flavors.
  3. Arrange Pastries and Berries: Place mini croissants, donut holes, and halved strawberries neatly in the outer corners of the tray to create balanced clusters around the Brie.
  4. Fill with Meats and Cheeses: Fold the salami slices into quarters or create salami roses for decorative effect, then arrange alongside the honey ham, cheese cubes, and cheese slices, filling the tray in a visually appealing manner.
  5. Add Fresh Fruits: Distribute sliced kiwi, blueberries, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, and orange segments throughout the tray to fill gaps and add freshness and vibrant color.
  6. Finish with Sweets and Decoration: Fill any remaining spaces with chocolate hearts, chocolate covered raisins, and Andes mints. Optionally, tuck in fresh flowers to make the board look full, festive, and beautiful.

Notes

  • To make salami roses, roll each slice of salami into a tight spiral and arrange them standing upright to mimic the look of roses.
  • Use a large tray or wooden board for easy arrangement and transportation.
  • Keep ingredients cold until assembly to maintain freshness, especially the cheeses and deli meats.
  • Fresh flowers are optional and should be edible or non-toxic if used around food.
  • This board can be customized with your favorite cheeses, meats, and fruits depending on availability and preferences.
