It’s that time of year…you know that time…party time! Whether you’re hosting a holiday soiree, a big family dinner, or a small wine and cheese night, my holiday charcuterie board will wow your guests! Follow the simple steps below to add a little holly jolly to your holiday tablescape.
What you’ll need…
- 2-3 types of cubed cheese
- small tomatoes
- red & green grapes
- berries
- rosemary sprigs
- thin pretzel rods
- pita bread
- tall cutting board
- scissors
- string
- star-shaped cookie cutter
Step One
Turn your cutting board lengthwise. Make a long row of cheese an inch or two above the base of the board.
Add a row of tomatoes above, about the same length.
Step Two
Continue to build your tree alternating the rows with grapes, cheese, berries, and tomatoes. Taper the rows smaller and smaller so you’re forming a long triangle or tree shape.
Step Three
Tie a bundle of pretzel sticks and place them at the bottom of the tree as your stump.
Step Four
Garnish the board with rosemary sprigs.
Step Five
Cut the pita bread with your star-shaped cutter and place it around the board.
**BONUS** Season pie crust with various herbs, cut into star shapes and bake into crackers.
There you have it—a beautiful DIY cheese board for your guests. If you want to go the extra mile, you can always add in a row of deli meats, olives, or other fruit. And feel free to add a couple of small bowls of your favorite jams and dressings for dipping!
Happy Holidays! Don’t forget to share photos of your board and tag @MyBobs.
