Princess Charcuterie Board
Ingredients
- Variety of Cheeses: I like to choose two or three cheeses of varying textures, flavors, and shapes. For this board we only had room for two cheese so we chose brie and sliced Swiss. Goat cheese, Gruyere, or aged cheddar would be delicious options as well.
- Preserves: We chose apricot but any flavor would be delicious. Choose a smooth texture and color that will compliment the colors and flavors on your board.
- Breads & Crackers: Sliced breads, crackers, breadsticks, etc.
- Fresh Fruits: Berries, Kiwi, Grapes, Apples, Peaches, Pears, Cherries, Dried Apricots, Figs, etc.
- Savories: Sliced salami, pepperoni, capicola, or Canadian bacon to make meat roses. Make sure the slices are round and 2-3″ in diameter for best results.
Equipment
- Champagne Flute
- Board or Tray
- Crown Cookie Cutter
Instructions
1. Make meat roses – Using a clean champagne flute, place sliced meat over the rim of the glass. Add slices staggering so they overlap each other. I typically use 3 or 4 slices of meat for the first layer. Repeat a second layer and continue the process until you are happy with the fullness of the rose. On a cutting board, flip the champagne flute over so the meat is on the board. Note: you can also use a wine glass or round drinking glass if you’d like a larger rose.
2. Make crown brie – Place chilled brie on a cutting board. Using a cookie cutter, insert into the center of the cheese pushing down around an 1/2″. Use a cheese knife to gently remove the waxy coating from the inside of the crown area. Carefully spoon preserves into the crown reservoir.
3. Arrange all ingredients on a cutting board.
4. Place brie and meat roses in the center of the board. Place other cheese(s) on opposite sides of the board and arange breads and crackers near the cheeses.
5. Fill in empty spaces with fruits. If desired, add small flowers to the board. Make sure flowers are cleaned and clip off stems. We used mini daisies from our garden but any small flowers would be lovely.
