Easiest CHARCUTERIE BOARD for the Holidays (Best Christmas Appetizer!)
Let me show you how to create a charcuterie board your guests will love! Just gather your favorite cheeses, meats, fruits, crackers, and a few tasty extras for the best party appetizer.
If you’re a visual person like me, building a charcuterie board from scratch is always such a fun and creative process. And I love that there’s no one right or wrong way to make it! Plus, it’s super easy to make, delicious, and guaranteed to be the star of any appetizer spread. While this particular cheese board has a fall/winter theme (I was preparing it for the holidays), it’s endlessly customizable. So have fun with it—whether you're serving it as a Thanksgiving appetizer, Christmas appetizer or any cozy gathering in between!
