Print Recipe

A stress-free, intimate charcuterie board designed for two, focusing on the balance of salty, sweet, and savory flavors without the need for complex cooking.

Ingredients

  • Soft cheese (Brie or Camembert)
  • Semi-hard cheese (Aged Gouda or Manchego)
  • Hard cheese (Parmesan or Pecorino)
  • Cured meats (Prosciutto, salami, or chorizo)
  • Fresh fruit (Grapes, strawberries, or figs)
  • Dried fruit (Apricots, dates, or cranberries)
  • Pickles (Cornichons or olives)
  • Crackers (Water crackers, baguette slices, or pretzels)
  • Nuts (Almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)
  • Seeds (Pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds)
  • Honey or fig jam
  • Dark chocolate squares
  • Whole grain mustard or chutney

Instructions

  1. Take cheeses out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving to bring to room temperature.
  2. Slice hard cheeses into thin wedges or cubes; leave soft cheeses whole or roll into balls.
  3. Fold cured meats into little nests or rolls to add height and visual interest.
  4. Place crackers or bread on the board, stacking or fanning them out to create a foundation.
  5. Add fresh fruits, pickles, and dried fruits around the board.
  6. Place fig jam or honey in small bowls or dollop directly onto the board.
  7. Fill empty gaps with nuts, seeds, and chocolate.
  8. Add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for color and drizzle with honey if desired.

Notes

Ensure cheese is at room temperature for best flavor. Balance salty, sweet, and savory elements. Avoid overcrowding the board. Can be customized for gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegetarian diets.
