Charcuterie Done Right!

Who does not love cheese and crackers? Charcuterie boards are one of my favorite things because they can be big or small, complex or simple. They can have a infinite number of combinations of different cheeses, crackers, and meats. Think of your cutting board as a blank canvas!

I have a pretty much a go to cheese board, which is listed below. I get all my cheeses, meat, fig jam, and the fig and olive crackers from Trader Joe's. As a healthy alternative cracker, I get Nut Thins. These are found at any normal grocery store or even Target.

Cheese:

Brie

Gryére

Goat Cheese: whipped with honey

Meat:

Prosciutto

Spread:

Fig Jam

Crackers:

Flatbread crackers

Fig and Olive

Nut Thins

Fruit and Nuts:

Strawberry

Apricot

Almonds

It's Not Bad To Think Small

If you are only entertaining one or two friends, maybe even a date night plat, I suggest doing more of a paired down board. These are two of my favorite combinations.

Brie, Prosciutto, Fig Jam, and a basic cracker.
