How to Make Red, White and Blue Charcuterie Board

Here are the ingredients you need to make this red, white an blue charcuterie board, plus step by step instructions for how to make it.

Ingredients

Red pepper, sliced
Cherry tomatoes
Raspberries
Strawberries
Pepperoni
Charizo
Pearl mozzarella
Yogurt covered raisins
White chocolate dipped pretzels
Variety of crackers (different flavors, shapes and sizes is best)
Pepperjack cheese, sliced
White cheddar cheese, sliced
Brie
Provolone cheese, sliced
Blackberries
Blueberries
Fruit jam of choice

Step by Step Instructions

1. If desired, line your serving board with parchment paper to make cleanup easier and to prevent staining from juicy fruits or soft cheeses. Set the board aside.

2. Slice the red pepper into thin strips for easy grabbing. If you’d like, slice the strawberries in halves or quarters, depending on their size and look you’re going for.

3. On each skewer or toothpick, place one cherry tomato, one mozzarella pearl, and one blackberry. Set aside as a colorful and structured addition to the board.

4. Use a small star-shaped cookie cutter to cut stars out of provolone cheese slices. These will add a fun and festive touch to the layout.

5. Using the same cookie cutter, carefully remove a star shape from the center of the brie rind. Spoon your favorite fruit jam into the cutout for a pop of color and flavor.

6. Optional: Make a pepperoni flower. Fold a pepperoni slice around the shot rim of the shot glass. Add another slice to overlap about ½ of the first pepperoni. Continue overlapping slices all the way around the rim several times. Gently turn the glass upside down to release the flower.

7. Have everything ready. Before you begin assembling, make sure all your ingredients are prepped, sliced, and grouped. This makes the arranging process much smoother.

8. Start building your board. Begin with the largest or most eye-catching items, like the brie, crackers, and skewers. Placing these first will help anchor your layout.

9. Add medium-sized items. Arrange sliced peppers, meats, strawberries, and cheese slices around the larger items to start filling out the board.

11. Adjust for balance. Check the distribution of colors – red, white, and blue should be spread out evenly. Rearrange as needed to avoid clustering similar colors too closely.

12. Place the star-shaped cheese slices over darker berries to make them pop and add a final patriotic touch.
