A fresh and elegant spring charcuterie board featuring a balance of savory meats, creamy cheeses, sweet honeycomb, and delicate edible flowers, perfect for garden parties or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Brie cheese, soft and creamy
  • Aged Manchego cheese, sliced thin
  • Goat cheese log, crumbled (dairy-free option available)
  • Prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • Soppressata or spicy salami
  • Seedless green grapes
  • Marinated olives (black and green mix)
  • Baby pickles or cornichons
  • Assorted crackers (water crackers and multigrain)
  • Toasted baguette slices
  • Raw almonds or Marcona almonds
  • Honeycomb chunks
  • Fresh edible flowers (pansies, nasturtiums, violets, pesticide-free)
  • Dried apricots or figs (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme sprigs)
  • Fig jam or apricot preserves

Instructions

  1. Remove cheeses from the fridge 20 minutes before serving to soften. Slice Manchego thinly, crumble goat cheese into a small bowl, and cut Brie into wedges. Place each on separate spots on your board.
  2. Fold or loosely roll prosciutto and soppressata slices for volume and place near the cheeses without crowding.
  3. Rinse grapes and pat dry. Drain olives and pickles well. Arrange these in small bowls or clusters around the board.
  4. Toast baguette slices until golden and let cool. Fan out assorted crackers in open spaces on the board.
  5. Use a small spoon or knife to gently break chunks of honeycomb and nestle them on the board, handling gently to keep texture intact.
  6. Scatter edible flowers thoughtfully, avoiding overcrowding. Add rosemary or thyme sprigs for garnish and aroma.
  7. Add a small bowl of fig jam or apricot preserves with a spreader. Adjust balance and presentation as needed.

Notes

Let cheeses sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving to enhance flavor. Handle honeycomb gently to maintain texture and avoid soggy crackers by placing honeycomb away from crackers. Pre-slice and store baguette slices and cheeses a few hours ahead if short on time. Use pesticide-free edible flowers only. For vegetarian or vegan versions, omit meats and add nuts, roasted chickpeas, or plant-based cheeses.
