Ingredients
  

  • 100 g prosciutto
  • 100 g salami
  • 100 g Spanish chorizo
  • 100 g fuet sausage
  • 200 g brie cheese
  • 200 g white cheddar cheese
  • 150 g emmental cheese
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 0.5 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup green olives
  • 200 g assorted crackers
  • 100 g breadsticks
  • 1 small bowl fig jam or honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs for garnish

Equipment

  • large wooden charcuterie board
  • small serving bowls
  • cheese knife
  • serving tongs
  • plastic wrap optional for storage

Method
 

  1. Start with a large, clean wooden board or serving tray. The bigger, the better so there is enough room to spread out the ingredients.
  2. Place any small bowls or dishes on the board first for olives, dips, or jams to anchor the layout.
  3. Add the cheese wedges and cubes next, spacing them evenly across the board.
  4. Fold and drape the cured meats between the cheeses by rolling prosciutto into loose bundles and arranging salami, chorizo, and fuet in layers.
  5. Fill the gaps with blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries while distributing the red and blue colors evenly around the board.
  6. Tuck crackers and breadsticks along the edges and between the meats and cheeses for easy grabbing.
  7. Add final garnishes such as fresh herbs, patriotic toothpicks, or small American flag picks.
  8. Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one day before serving.

Notes

Assemble the board no more than a few hours before serving for maximum freshness. Add crackers last to prevent them from softening. Customize with dips, blue corn tortilla chips, roasted vegetables, or vegetarian substitutions for a personalized patriotic spread.
