Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Trail Mix | I used an Omega3 Cranberry Trail Mix from Trader Joe's
  • 1 1/2 cups Gluten-Free Snack | try these Clean Snax from Melissa's Produce.
  • 1 log Sweet Cheese | I opted for this sweet creamy blueberry goat cheese from Trader Joe's
  • 1 sleeve crackers | Try these Nairn's Gluten-Free Oatcakes.
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate | I used a healthier pomegranate dark chocolate.
  • 4-8 6-8 oz containers pumpkin yogurt | Purchase or make your own delicious Pumpkin Swirl Yogurt I made these ahead of time!
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups Hearty Granola | try making your own Praline Granola!
  • 4-8 mini Scones | I made Cinnamon Crunch scones but Pumpkin scones would also be amazing! Or feel free to purchase a mini baked treat!
  • Fresh Fruit | Melissa's sent me these sweet red Muscato grapes and I added fresh raspberries Mandarin oranges and some green grapes as well. Small package of each.
  • 1 package Cheese Straws | I added these Trader Joe's cheese straws for variety and height.
  • 1/2 cup Cinnamon Cashews | These are Whole Foods brand cinnamon wrapped cashews, delicious and healthy! Or just plain cashews, walnuts, almonds or pecans.

Equipment

  • Large Charcuterie Board see notes for ideas

Instructions

  • STEP 1 | Prep and Wash all ingredients going onto board
  • Start by gathering small and medium bowls, and place your mixes, nuts, candies, and loose nibbles into bowls and jars.
  • Wash fruit, and allow to sit for a few minutes on some paper towels to absorb the water. Remove cheese from fridge about 20 minutes before serving, this will give it time to soften.
  • Step 2 | Assemble Breakfast Charcuterie
  • Watch the video below for the show and tell version on how to make this easy brunch charcuterie boards! P.S. There is no right or wrong way to make a charcuterie board!
  • If using a board or tray, make sure it is food safe (it should say on the bottom of the board); if not, or for easy clean up line with parchment or butcher paper.
  • If desired, lay down some non-toxic leaves, to add an all-natural, seasonal look -- I purchased mine from our grocery florist.
  • Start from the center, working your way outward. I used the bowl of granola to anchor the eye for the center of the board, then surrounded the bowl with the jars of yogurt.
  • Near an edge, so people can get at it easily, place the cheese log and crackers -- don't forget a cheese spreader.
  • Add any larger objects (cheese straws, oranges, scones, cookies, etc)
  • Then start tucking in your small bowls filled with nuts, chocolates, fruit and other nibbles.
  • Use the grapes and raspberries to fill in your gaps, as well as a nibble that will stand on its own.

Notes

Equipment

  • This is the oversized food-safe wooden tray that I used, but feel free to use other shapes and sizes as well. You can find lots of styles at places like TJ Maxx, Hobby Lobby, World Market and Target!
  • Variety of small and medium bowls.
  • I always am asked about my jars, these mini Weck tulip shaped jars are perfect for yogurt!
*Charcuterie Boards and Trays | Be creative, you might even have something around the house you can use, lazy Susan, trays, cutting boards; you can even cover your table or counter with plastic wrap and then line with butcher paper if you don't have a board. I love this large Magnolia Wooden Tray from Target.
TFC PRO TIP #1 | Make sure your board is food safe, if not, you can still use it, but I do suggest lining it with butcher paper or parchment paper.
TFC PRO TIP# 2 | There is no right or wrong way to assemble a charcuterie board, there is no right or wrong items to put on a grazing board. This will be delicious using brands, products, fruits, cheese, crackers that you enjoy! These are simply suggestions to take some of the guess work out of it!
