Smoked Meat Charcuterie Board Recipe
A smoked meat charcuterie board is a feast for the eyes and taste buds! It’s so simple to create by selecting a variety of smoked meats to bring savory, bold flavors to the table—think smoky slices of turkey, tender smoked ham, and rich, tangy smoked sausage.
Pair these with a medley of cheeses that complement the meats, like a sharp, crumbly aged cheddar and the creamy, slightly nutty notes of smoked gouda. Then, round it out with an array of exciting accompaniments. Crisp pickles and olives add a burst of acidity, while roasted almonds or candied pecans bring a delightful crunch.
Don’t forget thick slices of artisan bread or buttery crackers – the perfect base for assembling bites. Add a pop of sweetness with fresh fruit like grapes or figs, and you’re all set for a well-balanced board that everyone will love.
To make it extra stunning, garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, which look beautiful and add a fragrant charm. The key is to invite your guests to enjoy every bite effortlessly, so keep it accessible and stunningly inviting.
