Print Recipe

A simple, elegant, and indulgent charcuterie board perfect for romantic evenings, featuring a balanced mix of cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruits, nuts, and accompaniments.

Ingredients

  • Brie cheese, soft and creamy (about 4 oz)
  • Aged cheddar or gouda, firm and flavorful (about 4 oz, sliced or cubed)
  • Blue cheese or goat cheese for a tangy kick (optional, around 2 oz)
  • Prosciutto slices (about 3 oz)
  • Soppressata or salami, thinly sliced (about 3 oz)
  • Seedless grapes or fresh figs (a small handful)
  • Cherry tomatoes or cucumber slices
  • Roasted almonds or Marcona almonds (about 1/4 cup)
  • Walnuts or pecans
  • Olives (kalamata or green, pitted, about 1/4 cup)
  • Honey or fig jam (a small bowl for drizzling/dipping)
  • Artisan bread or crackers, sliced (about 6-8 pieces)
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the cheeses into a variety of shapes—wedges for brie, cubes for cheddar, crumbles for goat cheese. Arrange cured meats in loose folds or rolls.
  2. Rinse grapes or figs thoroughly. Slice cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters, and cut cucumbers into rounds or sticks.
  3. Place small bowls for olives and honey or jam on opposite corners of the board. Distribute cheeses evenly, add meats nearby, then clusters of fruit and nuts to fill gaps. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs.
  4. Place slices of artisan bread or crackers around the edges or in a separate basket to keep them from getting soggy.
  5. Drizzle a little honey over the brie or serve it on the side for dipping. Adjust the board for balance of textures and colors.

Notes

Let cheeses sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving for best flavor. Serve bread or crackers on the side to avoid sogginess. Personalize with your favorite cheeses or cured meats. Rinse olives if too salty. Assemble just before serving to keep ingredients fresh.
