If you're not familiar with the term "Charcuterie" it's very simply a Meat and Cheese Board. The fun part is you can choose such a variety of meats, cheese, breads, crackers, and fruit. Let you creativity run rampant, set out a gorgeous spread, and invite friends over to enjoy.
In the following pictures, I'll name some of the items I used to help give you an idea of things you can serve.
Top right corner is a bowl of spicy oysters crackers I made with oil, dry ranch dressing, a variety of seasonings and red pepper flakes. I also have dry salami, toasted slices of bread, pretzel crisps, sliced pears and apples, dried apricots, moondrop grapes, prosciutto, blue cheese, Irish white cheddar, pickled okra, Hatch chile cheddar, whole grain mustard, hot sopressa, and cornichons. And because it's MY Southern Charcuterie Board, I added some deviled eggs!
The next photo we'll start in the upper left with toasted walnuts, a variety of pitted olives, Triscuits, black pepper coated salami, goat cheese, fig preserves, white Vermont cheddar, water crackers, sliced apples and pears, and Brie.
See those breadsticks next to the pickled okra? Rosemary garlic flavor and they were delicious!
I hope these photos have inspired you to hose your own Meat and Cheese (and fruit and bread and crackers!) party.
It's beautiful and there is a lot of good food there.
