Ingredients
- 16 ounces turkey slices carved or deli-style, 2-3 ounces per person
- brie wheel
- 16 ounces sliced cheese assortment 1-2 ounces per person
- 32 crackers
- 1 French bread loaf sliced thinly
- 2 cups grapes
- 1 cup apple slices
- 8 cranberry scones or crackers
- 1 cup granola
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
- Dipping sauces: caramel, pumpkin spice or maple syrup
- Spreads: mustard, mayo, honey mustard, raspberry jam
- Fresh thyme or rosemary, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Place the Cranberry Walnut Brie or Brie wheel on your board as an anchor. If you’re using a small or round board, place the cheese wheel in the center of the board and build around it. If using a larger board, place the brie wheel off-center.
- Add small bowls to hold the dipping sauces, spreads, syrups, granola, and nuts and fill as desired.
- Begin building your board by adding the largest items (meat & cheeses) first, then working your way down to the smallest items (bread, crackers, fruits, and nuts). Remember to keep bread and crackers away from things that are naturally wet (like fruit).
Notes
- Fancy up the board and make my Baked Brie with Cranberries in place of the plain brie.
- Use nuts and cheeses as dividers to keep the board looking plentiful.
- If your board is too small to hold everything, create smaller plates around the board to hold bread and cheese.
- Make ahead tip: slice the meat and cheeses the day before and store separately in the refrigerator until you're ready to build the board.
- You can use leftover carved turkey or deli slices.
- Ingredients can be easily scaled based on the number of guests.
- Make substitutions based on your preferences or ingredients you have on hand.
- Nutritional information does not include sauces and dips.
- Nutritional information will vary based on the ingredients you use.
