Ingredients
1 wheel of Brie cheese
1 block of Sharp Aged Cheddar
1 wedge of Smoked Gouda
4 oz Prosciutto di Parma
4 oz Salami nuggets or sliced Sopressata
2 Honeycrisp apples, sliced
1 Bosc pear, sliced
1/2 cup Fresh figs, halved
1/2 cup Dried apricots
1/2 cup Spiced pecans
1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/4 cup Fig jam or honey
1 cup Dark red grapes
Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
Assorted crackers and baguette slices
Instructions
Step 1: Choose a large wooden board or slate platter as the base for your epic fall charcuterie board. Ensure it is clean and dry before starting.
Step 2: Place two or three small ramekins on the board to hold your 'wet' ingredients like fig jam, honey, or olives. Space them out to create focal points.
Step 3: Position your cheeses (Brie, Cheddar, and Gouda) around the ramekins. Leave the Brie whole but slice the harder cheeses into bite-sized pieces for ease of serving.
Step 4: Arrange the meats. Fold the prosciutto into ribbons and place the salami in small piles or roses near the cheeses to create a cohesive look on your epic fall charcuterie board.
Step 5: Fan out the sliced apples and pears in the larger open spaces. Add the grape clusters and fresh figs to fill in significant gaps.
Step 6: Fill all remaining small spaces with dried fruits, nuts, and seeds. The goal is to hide the bottom of the board entirely for that epic fall charcuterie board aesthetic.
Step 7: Tuck in fresh rosemary sprigs and sprinkle a few extra pomegranate seeds or pepitas over the top for a final festive touch. Serve immediately.
Notes
To keep apples from browning, toss them in a mixture of 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice before placing them on the board.
