Description
This American Flag Charcuterie Board is a festive 4th of July appetizer featuring blueberries, star-shaped cheese, savory meats, and creamy white cheeses arranged as a patriotic cheese platter.
Ingredients
Blueberries (enough to fill a small corner of your board)
White cheese slices, cut into star shapes
Raspberries
Sliced pepperoni
Sliced salami
White cheese slices (provolone or white cheddar)
White cheese cubes (mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or white cheddar)
Instructions
1. In the top-left corner of your board, pile up blueberries to create the blue section of the flag.
2. Place the white star-shaped cheeses gently on top of the blueberries.
3. Starting at the top, lay out a row of raspberries for the first red stripe.
4. Below the raspberries, add a row of white cheese slices for a white stripe.
5. Alternate rows with pepperoni for red, more white cheese slices, salami for red, and cubes of white cheese until the board is filled.
6. Fold and layer the meats slightly to add texture and make the board look full.
7. Fill any empty spots with extra berries or cheese cubes for an abundant appearance.
Notes
Use a rectangular wooden board for the best flag shape.
Assemble a few hours before serving and refrigerate.
