| Angie's Charcuterie Board |
(Feeds maybe 8 women)
2+ hard cheeses (I got mine from Trader Joes...Coastal Syrah Toscano + Cut Green Goddes Gouda)
1 (or 2) soft cheeses (I used Triple Creme Brie and Boursin)
Prosciutto + another thinly sliced meats or sausage.
Truffle Marconi almonds (Trader Joe's). Could use plain marconi or pistachios.
Parmesan Whisps
Blueberries, Raspberries, Grapes
Olives (mixed or green?)
Golden Figs (from Trader Joe's. Will cut in half next time)
Fig spread
Dried Oranges (from Trader Joe's or other dry fruit, craisins?)
Honey (looked great, but nobody touched it)
Dark Chocolate chunks? (I didn't on mine but may in the future)
Garnish w/ fresh Rosemary.
Great crackers. Everyone loved the Herb Rosemary pistachio crackers. Chicago flats, Crunchmaster Multi-grain sea salt crackers, Triscuit Cracked Pepper + Olive oil, Raincoast.
Start your board with the bowls of olives and other jars. Evenly place the cheeses, then roll up the sliced meats.
Add in the fruit, dry fruit, nuts and crackers to fill in holes (or serve crackers on the side if not enough room).
I served this with wine + blackberry cobbler w/vanilla ice cream. Actually, I had the cobbler prepared to make, but my super kind + thoughtful friends brought chocolates + chocolate chip cookies, so I baked it + served it to my husband when he got up north to join me for the weekend.
My only regret is that I served it on the dining room table. Next time I will put it on the coffee table instead, so people can gather around it + enjoy it with their wine, cocktails or sparkling water!
