A quick, easy, and customizable charcuterie board designed for two, perfect for date nights. It balances salty, sweet, and tangy flavors using simple pantry staples to create an intimate and stress-free grazing experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Artisan Crackers (water or seeded)
  • 46 thin slices Baguette, toasted
  • Half a small wheel Brie, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar, cut into cubes
  • 46 slices Salami, folded loosely
  • 23 thin slices Prosciutto, torn by hand
  • 1/2 cup Dried Figs, halved
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • Slices of Bread and Butter or Dill Pickles

Instructions

  1. Take the brie and cheddar out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
  2. Cut the cheddar into uniform cubes and slice the brie if desired.
  3. Place crackers on the board first, stacking them in small piles or fanning them out along the edges to create height.
  4. Place the brie wheel in the center or slightly off-center as the focal point.
  5. Arrange cheddar cubes in small clusters around the board.
  6. Fold or roll the salami and prosciutto loosely to add texture and scatter them around the cheese.
  7. Scatter toasted walnuts in the gaps between meats and place dried figs near the cheese.
  8. Place Dijon mustard and pickles in small ramekins or create small pools directly on the board.
  9. Step back to ensure the board is balanced and not cluttered, then serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure cheese is at room temperature for best flavor. Keep crackers separate until serving to prevent sogginess. If serving outdoors, use ice packs under the board to keep cheese cool if it sweats. Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator; do not freeze cheese.
