Ingredients

  • 1 flat wooden cutting board or plank
  • 2-4 different cheeses
  • 2-4 different cured meats
  • 2 ounces of your favorite whole grain mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Tip: When arranging your board, be sure all your components are different textures and cuts. For example: Sliced prosciutto, diced ham chunks, sliced and rolled up mortadella, crumbled cheese, diced cheese, shaved cheese, etc.

  2. 2

    Placement: Place each component on the board with some space in between each one. Do not cram everything right next to each other unless you only have a small platter. Small platter directions below. If using mustard, serve mustard in a small serving bowl and place alongside with meats and cheeses. If using a small board arrange meats and cheeses as close as possible starting from the inside of the plate to ensure the components are placed evenly throughout the board.
