Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to build this tasty Easter charcuterie board.

Salted almonds – A crunchy, salty bite that balances the sweetness of the fruits.
Almond flour crackers – A deliciously low-carb option that pairs perfectly with cheese.
Pretzel crackers – The ultimate combo of salty and crunchy for extra texture.
Smoked gouda cheese, sliced – A creamy, smoky cheese that melts in your mouth.
Swiss cheese, sliced – Mild, nutty, and perfect for stacking.
Chorizo, sliced – Spicy and flavorful for a little kick.
Cheddar cheese, sliced – A classic that everyone loves.
Mennonite sausage, sliced – Rich, smoky, and a little bit nostalgic.
Boursin cream cheese – Soft, herby, and absolutely addictive.
Grapes – Juicy, fresh, and a sweet contrast to the salty elements.

Instructions

1. Start by scooping the Boursin cheese onto the bottom-center of your serving board to create the bunny tail.

2. Arrange the variety of meats around the board.

3. Add the cheeses to the board, layering them for different heights.

4. Add the crackers and pretzels to fill in the gaps.

5. Finish with almonds and grapes.

After the Easter board has been picked over, the rest of the tray can be covered in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container to be refrigerated for freshness.

The shape of the platter gives this charcuterie a fun Easter bunny look. If you are using a large platter, you can still create a beautiful Easter charcuterie board with a rabbit shape from the foods that you choose. Use small bowls for soft cheeses and things like pickles or olives.

Tips and Tricks

Candy-coated almonds or pastel-colored treats make a cute finishing touch.
If you don’t have a holiday-specific platter, use a wooden board or large platter and create the shape you want.
Arrange ingredients in different shapes to add visual interest.
Small bowls are perfect for soft cheeses, dips, or small items like pickles, nuts, and candy.
Add fresh herbs like rosemary or basil for added interest.

You could use all kinds of things to make a bunny! Try adding pretzel sticks, vegetables, fruit, or different meats and cheeses.
