This gorgeous summer charcuterie board is a great idea if you’re looking to make a charcuterie board on a budget! This summertime board is full of delicious summer fruits, sandwiches, and treats that are perfect for an outdoor party or a day at the pool!
Variety of cheese slices(such as muenster, Swiss, provolone, cheddar, etc.)
Nuts(pistachios, almonds)
goat cheese crumbles
Mini croissants or sandwich bread
Angel food cake(cut into bite-sized cubes)
Instructions
Choose a board or platter appropriate for the size of your gathering. A cookie sheet will also work.
Prepare fruits and vegetables as desired. Fruits can be sliced or scooped into balls. You can can also use cookie cutters or cut shapes. Save any shells from melons or pineapples to use as serving bowls for the fruit. Place fruits and vegetables on board.
Make finger sandwiches or mini-croissant sandwiches with your favorite sandwich fillers such as turkey, ham, roast beef and a variety of cheeses. Arrange the sandwiches on the board.
To finish the board off, add any remaining ingredients to the board such as berries, almonds, pistachios, and cubed angel food cake.
Notes
Nutrition facts will be dependent on exactly how much you put on the board and how much people eat. Storage Tips: To store the board, I recommend taking bigger items off like the croissant sandwiches and storing those in bags or storage containers individually. Also remove anything that doesn’t need refrigerated or that might be worsened with refrigeration (like the angel food cake).Then you can just wrap the entire board with plastic wrap tightly and place it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to graze again, just unwrap and enjoy your favorite things on day two. Or you can take everything off and store things in their own storage containers, but that kind of defeats the point of creating the charcuterie board in the first place – might as well enjoy your efforts!
