Ingredients

Units Scale

Meats and Cheeses:

  • 6-8 ounces cured meats: Thinly slices sausages, hams, prosciutto, pepperoni, etc.
  • 12 ounces of assorted cheeses: I like a variety of hard and soft cheeses

Dips and Spreads:

  • 1/4 cup jam of choice
  • 1/2 cup hummus or dip for veggies

Crackers:

  • 6 ounces butter crackers
  • 6 ounces Wheat Thins

Fruit and Veggies:

  • 6 ounces strawberries
  • 10 ounces seedless grapes: I like both red and green varieties
  • 1/2 of an English cucumber- thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces baby carrots
  • 4 ounces green olives

Extras and Garnishes:

  • 4 ounces dried dates
  • 6 deviled eggs
  • 4 ounces assorted nuts (pistachios, almons, pecans, peanuts)
  • 4 ounces mini chocolate eggs
  • 4 ounces Easter M&Ms
  • Mini chocolate bunnies (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. On a large baking sheet or wooden serving board, place any ingredients needing bowls (jams, dips, olives, candy, etc.) down first. 
  2. Next, add meats and cheeses to your board. Arrange the meats around the bowls, folding them in half, quarters, or even rolling them up for a nice aesthetic. Slice cheeses into squares or triangles beforehand, then lay them out around the board 
  3. After them, add the crackers to start filling in the gaps. You can pile them up, arrange them in a line, or lean against the bowls to help keep them in place.
  4. Finally, you're going to fill in the gaps the fresh fruit and veggies. You can spread thinly sliced cucumber out in a line, pile up strawberries, and fill in any, open spaces you see with small bunches of grapes. You'll also place on the deviled eggs at this point!
  5. Lastly, you can add any extras you like. The little golden bunnies, fresh herbs, and edible flowers all help to make your Easter charcuterie look abundant and festive!
  6. These ingredients and instructions are just a guide. Feel free to add your favorite items and customize your board to however you see fit. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Serving size: Before you start building your Easter charcuterie board, think about how many people you're going to be serving.
  • Start with dishes: While you're building your board, it's easiest to place anything that needs to be in bowls on first then build around them
  • Gluten free: You can easily make this board gluten free by adding your favorite gluten free crackers and double checking that any candy is gluten free before using
  • Pick a shape: If you want to get really festive, you can arrange your ingredients in a festive Easter shape. Like a bunny, egg, or carrot!
  • Leftovers: Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
