💭Charcuterie board ideas

If love creating charcuterie boards for the holidays, you'll need to check out a few different ones available here on the blog for you. Try my 4th of July Charcuterie Board which is fun all summer long!

Another fun holiday board idea is my Christmas Tree Cheese Board that is, yes, in the shape of a Christmas tree.

All you need to create a boar is arrange a variety of cheeses, meats and crackers on your board. Then add fresh fruit or grapes for color followed by accompaniments like honey, fig jam, olives, nuts or whatever else you'd like!

Have available small plates, forks, and knives to make it easier for your guests to enjoy everything.

💭How to keep crackers from getting soggy on charcuterie board?

Choose sturdy crackers that can hold up to the various toppings you place on a charcuterie board. You may want to place a layer of waxed paper on top of the board before adding the crackers. This will help absorb any moisture that accumulates during your celebration.

Try to place any "wet items" like cheese, meats and crackers away from the crackers. Instead place the crackers near different cheeses or small bowls filled with olives and jams.
