Become the next hostess with the mostess. You can't go wrong with creating a beautiful grazing board for your next dinner party. Who doesn't love a some cheese, wine, good company, and good conversations.
No charcuterie board is complete without a nice selection of cheese. It's best to choose different styles of cheese so that everyone can find something they'll like. 3-4 different types of cheese is usually a perfect amount for a medium sized gathering. Try to select a hard cheese, soft cheese and a crumbly cheese. If you're feeling adventurous, sometimes a fancy flavored cheese can be fun.
If you know your guests, try to read the crowd before they arrive. We know our friends like a good selection of meat on the charcuterie board, so we put out prosciutto, coppa and salami.
Here we had 5-6 different types of crackers, ranging from a seedy variety to a peppered water cracker. All of them make the perfect vehicle for bringing that beautiful cheese to your tastebuds.
Any or all of the above will do for a charcuterie board. Here I chose to sprinkle some fresh strawberries and a few red seedless grapes all about the board. A fresh fruit spread would have been divine on this board as well.
Although this board only features almonds, another nut would be perfect to add to your charcuterie board.
Oh, who are we kidding? A charcuterie board is only as good as its accompanying wine.
