Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, here’s the deal. When I’m at the store, I’m basically like a kid in a candy store—except the candy is cheese and cured meats. So, we’re talking:

– 300 g Gorgonzola (yes, please)
– 200 g Cheddar, sliced into those cute little batons because it’s Halloween and we’re not boring!
– 200 g aged Provolone, thin wedges (I mean, why not?)
– 100 g goat’s cheese (so creamy, so dreamy)
– 200 g salami (it’s a must)
– 200 g chorizo (give me that spice!)
– 150 g Prosciutto (who doesn’t adore prosciutto?)
– 1 cup almonds (for crunch!)
– 2 cups blackberries (they’re basically Halloween candy)
– 2 bunches black grapes (gorgeous, right?)
– ½ cup tomato jam (yum, what a twist)
– 1 cup cornichons (tiny pickles, yes!)
– 1 cup green olives (gotta have olives)
– Crackers (the vehicle for all this deliciousness)

Got it? Cool, let’s move on!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

So, the first time I made this board was last Halloween, and OMG, the chaos! I was trying to balance all these ingredients while my cat was on the counter, trying to steal the cheese (again). Anyway, I finally got it together, and my friends came over. They were all like, “This is amazing!” and I was just standing there, feeling like a total rockstar. I mean, it’s the perfect mix of savory and sweet, and there’s something about the colors that’s just sooo festive! Plus, you can tailor it to whatever you have on hand. It’s a vibe.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen up—this is the golden rule: start with the cheese. Seriously. If you don’t, you end up with meat sliding around and it’s just a hot mess. Like, slice your firmer cheeses first, then let the softer ones take their time. It’ll look way more organized, and trust me, your guests will appreciate it! And don’t forget to add cheese knives for the soft cheeses—so they can get their gooey fix without wrestling with it.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Don’t overcrowd the board—space is your friend here!
– Go for variety—different textures and flavors make it exciting!
– Don’t forget the fruit—it cuts the rich savory flavors and adds that “wow” factor.
– And for the love of cheese, check your cheese knife situation before guests arrive!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Alright, here’s the scoop. If you somehow have leftovers (which, let’s be honest, is a rarity), wrap the cheese in parchment paper to keep it fresh, and store meats in airtight containers. Fruits can hang out in the fridge, but, like, toss ‘em in a bowl so they don’t dry out. You know, keep ‘em looking cute!
