How To Make The Perfect Charcuterie Board

Slice the sperlonga bread in half lengthwise, then crosswise, into 4 equal-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet and broil on HIGH for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

Drain the burrata and carefully slice in half. Scoop the cheese out with a spoon and spread it evenly over the toasted bread.

Drizzle each burrata toast with vanilla bean balsamic and transfer to serving platter.

First, prepare your ingredients. Cube the cheeses; wash and dry the grapes; pull apart the prosciutto to break strips into smaller pieces; and transfer PicaQuicos (or nuts), jam, and spices to small bowls. If serving dipping oils with bread, pour olive oil into a shallow dish, then add the balsamic vinegar.

Next, lay out your charcuterie board. Mix in the cheeses with the meats, grapes, crackers, and bread to create visual interest. Position the bowls of nuts, jam, dipping oils, and spices in places that will be easy for everyone to reach. You can also mix in the Burrata Toast, or serve it separately on its own platter. Place toothpicks in a toothpick holder and include somewhere on or near the board.

Serve with a glass of wine and good company!
