With all things entertaining a-la summer fun and fall on the horizon, what we’ve really enjoyed is serving up some awesome charcuterie boards. Usually, I just call it a cheese tray. But I feel like the word ‘charcuterie’ is kind of a thing right now. Is it just me? I’m so on trend, y’all. JK we all know that’s a lie.
Also, I had to google how to say that, since I’m always reading words and never saying them right. #Nerdgirlprobs. Take the word ‘banquette’ or ‘greige’ or ‘prosciutto’ for example… {I always get that one confused with Prosecco?} they’re harder than you’d think. That’s probs just me.
So we made one up the other day for friends and thought that we should share some of our fave combos here.
I really think these foods might be one of my very favorite combos in the world. SO yummy and so perfect for entertaining. Sometimes, you can skip dinner all together and munch here. Here are a few of our very fave charcuterie board combos.
• Havarti with Jalapeño + Pepper coated salami + Kalmata Olives – You’ll thank us later.
• Honey Goat Cheese + Red pepper Jelly + Crunch Master Multi-Seed crackers in Roasted Garlic – I’m getting hungry just writing this.
• Pita Thins {Sea Salt} + Prosciutto + Havarti OR Prosciutto + Gruyere cheese – Winning either way. Please and thank you.
• Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese with Blueberries – combo with ginger snaps – yes, ginger snaps – A little bit of a dessert kind of treat on the sweet side.
• Boursin – Garlic and Herb Cheese – With any cracker combo is a creamy treat.
• Brie + Fresh Figs + toasted almonds – An unexpected combo of sweet and sharp.
• Bleu cheese {we know blue is also acceptable, but we seem fancier this way because French people are awesome} paired with strawberries or tomatoes or bread = oh so wonderful.
Other cheeses that are good and you can eat with anything or by itself: Merlot BellaVitano Cheese.
A little sharp and a little salty. Yummy!
Yes, please.
We always like to pair it with fresh fruit! So much fun!
And our favorite cheese tray can be found here. It’s the perfect size for smaller gatherings.
It’s definitely quite the fantastical combo to show up with at your next dinner soirée. What are some of your favorite combos for all things cheese and flavorful trays that you could totally make a meal out of? ‘Tis the season! We’d love to hear your favorite flavorful ideas.
Have an inspired day!
Ahhh perfect timing! I have a party coming up and want to do an easy app. This is so great! And also now I’m hungry. 😂❤️
Thanks for these! It’s over 100 here in Austin so it’s too hot to cook. Or eat much. Perfect timing!
Oh wow! It’s cooling down here this week for the first time in a while but we’re with you! Too hot! And I can’t eat either when it’s too hot – I guess I should go stand outside 😀
