| Angela Naff |

With fall, the holidays, and other reasons to gather upon us, charcuterie boards have grown in popularity to feed guests in a carefree and laid-back format. These snack-style boards have become popular at weddings, for small gatherings with friends, and can even be themed to feed guests during a wide range of gatherings. These charcuterie boards are easy to put together, and you really can’t go wrong with them as it allows a wide range of meats, cheeses, fruits, and other finger foods to please a wide range of guests. We’ve put together a couple of great fall ideas to spice up your Charcuterie boards and make your guests take notice this fall.

Cheesy Board, Anyone?

For this board, a few ideas could include stuffed sweet peppers with goat cheese and herbs, plus a baked fontina recipe. The adorable skillet with cheese just screams cool weather, and the peppers are tasty without having to be hot; they bring a vibrant punch of color that reminds people of the hues of the changing leaves.

Consider both taste and texture when it comes to cheese selections. Variety is the spice of life… and the key to a successful charcuterie board!

  • Hard Cheeses: Parmesan, Cheddar (both yellow and white), Gruyere, Gouda, Manchego
  • Soft Cheeses: Brie, Camembert, Goat Cheese, Burrata
  • Mild Cheeses: Port Salut, Havarti, Jarlsberg
  • Strong Cheeses: Roquefort, Stilton, Aged Gouda

Charcuterie Boards For Lunch or Breakfast?

These amazing boards don’t have just be for Hors d’oeuvres or meat and cheese. They can be for breakfast also, and here is a great idea for a brunch board. Trade usual suspects like capicola and salami for crisp bacon and smoked salmon. Then, dress them up with waffles, fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, pancakes, or even homemade doughnut holes.

Shapes Can Change Charcuterie Boards Up

Make a board into a wreath with arugula, with a peppery taste that can be eaten, and make the board more festive. Provide your guests with their own serving spoons or small spatulas so that they can feel comfortable lifting up what they choose without everyone touching the wreath or the same serving piece. Have fun with it! Feel free to add seasonal ingredients that provide color, beauty, and great flavor to the wreath. And don’t be afraid to create a new wreath for every season.

Dessert Options for Fall

Sometimes, desserts are just easier when everyone can pick what they want. These amazing and adaptable boards cannot be confined to just the main meat, cheese, and meal options. Get some candy, dessert, dipping sauces, and much more to sweeten the pot. Putting toppings for dipped apples on a tray in a pretty spread along with sticks for individual users can make these caramel apple options one that everyone can personalize.

Are you inspired to try a new charcuterie board for your next gathering? What bit of inspiration hit for your fall or theme-inspired board for your next gathering? You are sure to get compliments when putting these together, as charcuterie boards look like a lot of effort for ease of feeding a few or many guests. We hope that you find amazing inspiration for your next gathering and have a wonderful party with lots of compliments on your creative spin on the food options.
