Ingredients  

  • Fresh greenery, for the base
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs, for the base
  • 8 ounces white sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
  • 8 ounces yellow cheddar cheese, cubed
  • 4-6 ounces Prosciutto di Parma, torn into chunks
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella pearls
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cured olives, pitted
  • Star bread chips

Instructions 

  • Start with the fresh greenery, forming a large circle on a round wood board or platter. Add the rosemary sprigs, filling any gaps that weren't covered by the leaves.
  • You can then start arranging the remaining ingredients on top of the green base. I like to start with the cheese and prosciutto and then fill the empty spaces with the tomatoes and olives.
  • Finish by adding the star crackers, if using. If you’re serving large crackers or bread, skip this step and serve on the side! I also like to serve a little bowl of olive oil drizzled with balsamic vinegar, so my guests can dip the mozzarella pearls.

Notes

Make ahead:

You can assemble the board up to one day ahead and keep it refrigerated.

Serving temperature:

Cheese and charcuterie are best enjoyed at room temperature (67 to 70 degrees F). So make sure to take them out of the fridge at least 1 hour (and up to 2 hours) before serving.
If you live in a warmer climate, 15-30 minutes will do. You don't want to leave the cheese out too long or it will get oily.

Serving size:

You should calculate 1 to 1 1/2 ounces of each cheese per person. Just use that formula to increase or decrease the size of this board, based on your needs!
