HOW TO MAKE A CHARCUTERIE BOARD!

hey everyone today i'll be teaching you how to make a charcuterie board they're cute and fun to put together so let's get started with the video first you're going to want to pick out all the items that you want on your charcuterie board this includes cheeses crackers fruits nuts and anything else you want after you have your items cut your cheeses so you can place them on your board the two cheeses i decided to cut up into squares were my sharp cheddar cheese and my havati you can make a cheeseboard with at least two to three cheeses but usually they'll have like four to five when you do pick your cheeses try to pick ones that are different from each other you should also try to make sure that you have hard cheeses and soft spreadable cheeses next i'm going to cut the fontina cheese first i cut off the wax then i began cutting the cheese into thin slices cutting your cheeses in different ways is good for presentation it also makes it very convenient when you're eating the next slice i cut i placed on the opposite direction of the other slice and i repeated this process making a pattern this is a good way to present and cut your cheese if it's shaped like a triangle when you finish cutting your cheese you can set it to the side until you're ready to place it on your board next i have some brie which i decide to leave whole except for a few slices next we're going to prepare our meats the first meat we're going to prepare is salami which we're going to turn into a rose place three pieces of salami on a shot glass then keep layering your salami over the edge of the shot glass make sure you're not overlapping your salami on the same area as your previous layer when you flip your shot glass over it should look like a rose oh my god i did it cool salami rose next i have some capicola which i'm just going to roll each piece and stack on top of each other capicola is a thin slice of dried pork by the way i got my meats in a variety pack which i totally recommend you do because it's way cheaper than buying them individually that way if you get the variety pack you have a variety of meats to put on your board [Music] and now i'm going to take my prosciutto and i'm just going to fold each piece prosciutto is thinly sliced dried cured ham the slices were so thin that i couldn't completely take them all apart but i folded them to make a sort of ruffled look when you finish preparing your meads set them to the side next we can move on to our fruits you can use whichever fruits you want whichever is your favorite i am going to cut up an apple the apple was the only one that i had to cut up and i cut it up into thin slices the rest of the fruit that i got i was just going to clean and place on the board now we're just going to prepare our spreads by placing them inside a small dish the two spreads i got were strawberry and fig now that you have all your items prepared you can go ahead and assemble your charcuterie board try to place anything that might roll off your board in the center the nuts i added to my board were pecans and walnuts you can also add almonds or any kind of nut that you really like [Music] i added goat cheese as one of my spreadable cheeses you can also use ricotta cheese or cream cheese i thought the brie would be a soft spreadable cheese as well but i guess i got the wrong kind i also added some honey onto my honey goat cheese which by the way tasted really good i added some chocolate cookies to add something sweet to the charcuterie board you could also add just regular chocolate or like chocolate pretzels and this is the finished result i'm really happy with the outcome it looks so fancy which is totally what i was going for the whole reason i made the charcuterie report was because i really wanted to make that salami rose and it was totally worth it because that salami rose looks awesome also the combination of foods was really good i love fontina with apples the grapes tasted great together almonds pecans it was all just delicious oh and the honey goat cheese with the crackers tasted amazing i'm seriously thinking about making another one but like breakfast themed because this was so much fun to make when you're making your charcuterie board remember just add your favorite items and don't forget to have fun with it by the way these cookies are the best alright that's it for this video thank you guys so much for watching everything i used in this video will be down in the description below even some suggestions as to other items that you can place on your charcuterie board i really hope you guys enjoyed don't forget to like comment and subscribe bye i decided to practice making chocolate covered strawberries and these are the things i learned that i think really helped me improve stick a toothpick inside your strawberry to help you hold it when you're dipping it in chocolate drizzle chocolate on your strawberries over the bowl with your remaining chocolate so you don't waste any use the same color chocolate as your sprinkles so they both blend in together and look way cleaner and nicer also it looks very glittery and pretty it just looks nicer use the same color i've said this before but it's way better to pipe your chocolate into your letters so it comes out cleaner using a piping bag ensures that the chocolate gets into all the nooks and crannies of your mold do do [Music] okay so this one came out way way better than the valentine's one i made previously so much cleaner and nicer i think i might do another one next month and film it just because i love making these and getting practice in it just looks so so pretty i can't get over how pretty it looks i'm totally doing this again i love making these but seriously this is totally the end of the video okay bye you
