How to Make Wreath Charcuterie Board

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

7 oz sliced salami
6 oz sliced prosciutto
8 oz round brie cheese
7 oz wedge brie cheese
8 oz block pepperjack cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
Thin sliced cheese, cut into smaller squares
Assorted round crackers
Rectangular or square crackers
2 cups trail mix
Stuffed manzanilla olives
Pitted black olives
1 apple, cored and sliced
Mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
Red, black, and green grapes
1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
1 cup honey
Fresh sage and rosemary for decoration

Step by Step Guide

1. Start by cutting the pepperjack cheese into 1-inch cubes and slicing any other cheeses you plan to use. If you want to add a whimsical touch, use star cookie cutters to make fun shapes from the cheese slices. For the brie cheese round, cut out a star shape and fill the center with cranberry sauce, jam, or honey. This will be the stunning centerpiece of your wreath!

2. Next, let’s get creative with the salami! Lay out a few slices in a line and then roll them up to create charming salami roses. Secure them with a toothpick, and you can adjust the size of your roses by varying the number of slices you use.

3. Now it’s time to get assembling! Use fresh herbs to create an outer circle on your board, forming the base of your wreath. Then, make a smaller circle in the center for your cranberry brie.

4. Start by placing your ingredients on the board, positioning the cranberry brie in the center, adding the salami roses on opposite ends for balance, distributing the assorted crackers, trail mix, and olives around the board, and filling in the gaps with your cheese cubes and slices.

5. To make your board truly festive, roll or fan out the prosciutto and place them on opposite sides. Then, fill any remaining spaces with fresh fruit. Don’t forget to sprinkle in those adorable star cheese cutouts for a festive touch!

6. Finally, add some extra cranberry sauce and honey on the side for drizzling. Voila! Your stunning Wreath Charcuterie Board is ready to impress!
