How to Make Heart Shaped Patriotic Charcuterie Board
Here are the ingredients you need to make this heart shaped patriotic charcuterie board, plus step by step instructions for how to make it.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup blueberries
- 3 oz white cheddar
- 6-7 star crackers
- 10-12 strawberries
- mint
Step by Step Instructions
1. Use a small star-shaped cookie cutter to punch out cheese stars from the slices. This adds a festive, patriotic touch. If you don’t have a star cutter, no worries – simple triangle, square, or circle shapes work too. You can prep this ahead of time and refrigerate the cheese until you’re ready to assemble the board.
2. Rinse the strawberries and gently pat them dry. Remove the green tops (sepals), then slice each berry vertically into four pieces. This not only makes them easy to grab but also gives a flower petal effect that adds texture and color to your board.
3. Place your cheese stars in the center of the board, arranging them in a loose, wavy line to mimic the white stripes of the flag. Slightly overlap the stars for visual interest. Then, layer a band of sliced strawberries directly over the cheese in a similar wavy line to represent the red stripe.
4. In the top left corner of your board, pile the blueberries to form the “star field” of the American flag. Keep them grouped tightly for a bold blue section. Continue alternating bands of strawberries and cheese to complete the red and white stripes of the flag. Scatter the star-shaped crackers over the blueberries.
5. Finally, garnish with a few sprigs of fresh mint for a pop of green and a refreshing touch. Now your patriotic charcuterie board is ready to serve.
Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ or heading to a fireworks-viewing picnic, this heart-shaped patriotic snack board brings a burst of flavor and festive charm to any celebration.
