Filled with cheeses, cured meats, olives, bread and fruits, this Antipasto Charcuterie Board is the perfect way to start your meals in Italian style, with a proper first course dish.
First Step: add structure by placing items that can be stacked onto the board, small bowls with olives.
Second Step: Now add the cheeses and cured meats. Arrange the cheeses evenly leaving room to cut pieces of cheese. Place the meat slices next to the cheeses, to encourage your guests to pick and eat them together.
Third Step: Add crackers and bread slices between the meats and cheeses, stacking into each other on a row
Fourth Step: Finish with fruits filling any gaps in the board with fruits pieces and herbs.
Notes
If doing your charcuterie ahead of time, brush apples and pears lightly with lemon juice to avoid browning.
