A stunning brunch charcuterie board that’s versatile, customizable, and perfect for hosting cozy mornings or celebratory gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Brie cheese
  • Aged cheddar cheese
  • Goat cheese
  • Prosciutto
  • Smoked salmon
  • Salami
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Sliced oranges
  • Grapes
  • Apple slices
  • Pear slices
  • Mini bagels
  • Croissants
  • Artisan crackers
  • Sliced baguette
  • Honey
  • Fruit preserves (raspberry or apricot)
  • Cream cheese
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts)
  • Chocolate chunks
  • Granola
  • Yogurt cups
  • Fresh herbs (mint or rosemary)

Instructions

  1. Start with your large board or platter. Place small bowls on the board for spreads, dips, and nuts.
  2. Position your cheeses first, spacing them out across the board. Cut some into slices for easy grabbing and leave others whole for aesthetic appeal.
  3. Fold or roll your cured meats and tuck them around the cheeses. Create small clusters to keep things visually appealing.
  4. Add fresh fruit in vibrant sections. Place berries in one area, sliced oranges in another, and scatter grapes or apple slices throughout.
  5. Arrange mini bagels, croissants, crackers, and baguette slices in open spaces. Keep them accessible for easy grabbing.
  6. Fill small bowls with honey, fruit preserves, and cream cheese. Place them near complementary items like cheese or bread.
  7. Scatter nuts, chocolate chunks, or granola to fill in empty spaces. This adds texture and fun surprises for your guests.
  8. Finish with fresh herbs like mint or rosemary for a pop of color and a hint of aroma.
  9. Step back and adjust the arrangement to balance colors and textures. Your board should look abundant but not overcrowded.

Notes

Choose a variety of textures and flavors for balance. Use seasonal ingredients for freshness and vibrant colors. Pre-arrange the board before guests arrive for a stress-free setup.
