An easy no-cook charcuterie stadium board featuring a variety of cured meats, cheeses, fresh fruits, nuts, and crackers, perfect for quick and impressive game day snacks.

Ingredients

  • Slices of prosciutto, salami, and pepperoni
  • Brie or Camembert cheese
  • Sharp Cheddar cheese
  • Manchego or Gouda cheese
  • Red grapes
  • Sliced green apples
  • Figs (seasonal)
  • Assorted crackers (multigrain, water crackers)
  • Sliced baguette or breadsticks
  • Roasted almonds
  • Candied pecans
  • Kalamata olives
  • Cornichons
  • Honey (for drizzling)
  • Grainy mustard
  • Hummus or fig jam

Instructions

  1. Prepare the board by laying out your serving board or platter on a sturdy surface. Optionally place parchment paper underneath for easier cleanup.
  2. Slice cheeses into bite-sized cubes, wedges, or thin slices. For soft cheeses like Brie, slice into small triangles. Fold or roll cured meats to add dimension.
  3. Wash and dry grapes thoroughly. Slice apples into thin wedges and toss briefly in lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. Arrange small bowls for olives, nuts, and dips around the board. Artfully arrange cheese clusters and meat folds nearby. Fill gaps with crackers, bread slices, and fresh fruit, balancing colors and textures.
  5. Drizzle honey over some cheese wedges, scatter candied pecans around, and place small spoons or spreaders in dips to finish the board.

Notes

Let cheeses sit out for 15-20 minutes before serving to enhance flavor and texture. Use bowls to keep olives, nuts, and dips separate to avoid mixing flavors. Avoid placing crackers directly under moist items to prevent sogginess. For substitutions, use vegetarian deli slices or smoked tofu for meats, dairy-free cheeses, and gluten-free crackers as needed.
