Quarantine Charcuterie Board

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.

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.

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.
