It's no secret that Adam and I
love a good charcuterie platter! We order them at restaurants, take them to friends, and make them at home. Over the years we've made almost every variety imaginable. Almost every time I post one on social media, people will ask how we do it, so I put together a very simple graphic for the next time you want to put one together. The best part is, you really can't mess them up!
We like to pick a 'theme' or select foods based on the audience. For example, if we're making one for the kids we will usually grab summer sausage and ham but if we're taking on to a friend house we will probably buy proscuitto, sopressata, olives and peppers. Honey is an under utilized addition to charcuterie boards. It's like a secret ingredient! We also really like to add spicy brown mustard as a dipping sauce. Also, as the years go on, I realized when in doubt, just keep adding things. :)
My Board Favorites - asiago, brie, swiss, aged white cheddar, boursin, cashews
Adam's Board Favorites - proscuitto, sopressata, summer sausage, pepperoni, ham, olives, peppers, mustards, pepperjack, cheddar, horseraddish
Our Kids Board Favorites - summer sausage, deli meat, pretzels, string cheese, colby jack, grapes, apples, carrots, crackers
And I couldn't talk about food boards without at least mentioning the Fryboard that we made last FRYday. Adam thought of this and it was the perfect thing to make when the snow ruined our dinner plans. We bought 7 different kinds of french fries {regular, curly, sweet potato, waffle, wedges, cauliflower tots, tator rounds, etc.}, cooked them in our air fryer, & added a bunch of dipping sauces {bbq, ketchup, fry sauce, mustard, & ranch}.
*sorry for the crappy photo, often by the time we're making a board it's late, and dark.
