Instructions

Use a large star cookie cutter to cut a star shape out of the rind on the top of the brie. Fill the star with the whole cranberry sauce. Use a small cutter to cut stars out of slices of white cheddar.
Create the salami roses by starting out overlapping 7 slices of salami. Starting at one end, begin rolling up the salami in a cone shape to create the rose. Secure the salami rose with a toothpick to keep it together.
Create the outline of the wreath by placing sprigs of fresh rosemary around the edge of a round board, then make a small circle of rosemary in the center.
Start off filling in the wreath with the brie with the star first then add groups of salami roses on either side of the board.
Add different types of crackers and mixed nuts and granola to the wreath. Fill in more space with the black olives on one side and the green olives on the other.
Add piles of prosciutto and cheeses around the board.
Fill the remaining spaces with the berries, grapes, and apple slices.
Finish off by adding fresh sage in with the rosemary and adding cheese stars on top of the charcuterie wreath. Drizzle with honey. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips

Wash and dry all fruit and herbs well before assembling so nothing waters down the board.
Pre-slice cheeses and meats to make assembly quicker and easier for guests to grab.
Arrange ingredients in small clusters to create texture, variety, and a clear wreath shape.

Storage & Make Ahead

You can prep most of the ingredients a few hours ahead, then assemble the board right before serving so everything stays fresh.
If needed, loosely cover the finished board and refrigerate for a short time before serving.
Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator and enjoy within 1–2 days.
