Directions

Step 1

Prepare board 30 minutes before serving to allow cheese to come to room temperature, plan to leave the board out no longer than 2 hours for food safety.

Step 2

Select a large plate or wood platter and begin adding Charcuterie board items.

Step 3

Use taller and bigger items such as pears or pepper boats as structural boarder items to hold other items in place.

Step 4

To make the pepper boats, halve the pepper length wise, clean out. Use one right side up as a bowl to hold the olives (or any small item) from rolling on the platter. The other pepper will be facing down to add color to the platter.
