Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A charcuterie board aka a meat and cheese tray has become a popular appetizer these days for any occasion. Today I made what I call a Quarantine Charcuterie Board.

This is an impressive selection of meats, cheeses, dips, and fruits made of ingredients you typically have at home.

Check out my Virtual Quarantine Charcuterie Board Class from my Facebook Live event!

You can check out all of my recipe videos on my page here: Facebook For the Love of Food blog . 

 

 

Watch as I demo how to make a charcuterie board using ingredients you have at home.

I make charcuterie boards just about every week.

They are great for movie nights, parties, holidays, cleaning out the fridge, and just nights you don’t want to cook.

Quarantine Charcuterie Platter

Ingredients

  • Sliced cooked meats like lunch meat, sausage, pepperoni, prosciutto, and bacon
  • Nuts like honey roasted peanuts, trail mix, smoked almonds
  • Spreads like jam honey, mustard, salsa, ranch dip, hummus
  • Cheese like cheese sticks slices of cheese for sandwiches, and soft cheese like cream cheese, brie.
  • Crackers and dippers like butter crackers bread sticks, croutons, and chips.
  • Additional fillers like pickles olives, veggies like carrots, dried fruit like raisins, fresh fruit like grapes, apples, pears, berries.

Instructions

  • Use a large cutting board, plate, platter, or tray to plate.
  • Add small bowls for dips and spreads and include knives and cheese cutters along with toothpicks for serving.
  • Fill in the entire board with toppings, adding color, textures, and height with different themes.

Use a variety of meats and cheeses you have at home.

I like sausage and pepperoni, rolled lunch meats, cheese sticks, sliced cheese for sandwiches, and bacon.

I also go through my pantry and add different crackers and snack mixes.

I add bowls around the board and fill them with olives, nuts, grapes, berries, and dips. 

Dips we usually have on hand are mustard, ranch, and jam. 

 

I also like to make kids charcuterie.

Some fun ideas for this platter are popcorn, apple slices, baby carrots, pickles, cookies and crackers. 

Check out my Oh My Cherry Pie Cream Cheese Spread recipe to make for your board.

You can make it with any jam or jelly. 

I can’t wait to hear what you make with your quarantine boards! Comment below and let me know.

    I love charcuterie boards. But, I haven’t thought of making them for dinner when I’m busy or too tired to cook. What a fantastic idea!

    My family and I love eating Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods. And during the summer our lunches are often a simple spread of flatbreads, continental sliced meats, hummus, olives, artichoke hearts, grilled peppers, and the like and we’ll all just dive in and share! It’s great food to talk around and foster conversation! And easy for the chef!

    Thanks for sharing with us! Your food board is just awesome and made me hungry. It’s just my son and I but we do the cheese and pepperoni board with crackers as we bing watch shows. We also do a veggie tray and a rye bread boat with dip in the boat of dried beef. We switch back and forth especially since the virus hit but we try to make it fun.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful.
