Easter Charcuterie Board
This is the Easter Charcuterie Board you have never known you needed! I made a bunny from three cheese varieties, salami flowers, and a mini meadow out of parsley and mini carrots. The dip for vegetables is super simple and Greek yogurt-based, to add some neutral, light flavors, too. Of course, I had to add some chocolate, so I chose mini Easter bunnies and chickens.
Ingredients
- 1 Camembert cheese
- 1 ball fresh mozzarella
- 3.5 oz turkey salami
- 5 strawberries
- ½ cucumber
- a handful fresh parsley
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 cup broccoli
- bunny chocolates (to taste)
- 4 crackers
- 1 brioche pastry
- ½ cup feta (cubed)
- ¼ cup blueberry jam
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 6 slices soft cheese (any you like)(I used Géramont.)
- ¼ cups mixed nuts
Dipping
- 7 oz Greek yogurt
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Make a Cheese Bunny
- Place camembert cheese in the middle of the board to act like a bunny's body. Place a fresh mozzarella as a head.
- Use 2 slices of soft for legs. Top them with slices of strawberry to look like paws.
- For ears, cut 4 slices of soft cheese and make a set of ears. Cut each a bit in the bottom, so they can connect seamlessly.
- Use a tiny mozzarella ball as a tail.
Make Salami Flowers
- Fold salami four times in a triangle and arrange them into a circle. Place the piece of baby carrot in the middle, so it looks like a flower.
Make Cheese Tulips
- Use circular slices of provolone cheese. Fold them in the middle and roll, so they look like tulips.
Make a Dip
- Mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and fresh dill. Place the dip into a souffle bowl.
Assemble the Board
- Place fresh parsley under the bunny and circle it with baby carrots, so it looks like a meadow. In the middle, place feta cubes.
- Place a dip and salami flower on one side and the other salami flower on the other side of the board.
- Between ears, place crackers and a brioche pastry in the empty space above.
- On the sides of the bunny, place slices of cucumber, halved strawberries, grapes, and broccoli flowers. Place a tiny jar of jam next to it.
- Place provolone cheese tulips between "the meadow" and salami flower.
- Fill empty spaces with chocolates and nuts.
