Ingredients
- 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 oz Brie cheese
- 4 oz salami
- 4 oz prosciutto
- 1 cup black grapes
- 1 cup baby bell peppers
- 1/2 cup black olive tapenade
- 1/2 cup honey
- Edible googly eyes
- Fresh herbs (like rosemary or basil for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the board: Select a large wooden or slate board to serve as your charcuterie base. Make sure it’s clean and dry.
- Arrange the cheeses: Slice the sharp cheddar into small squares or fun shapes and place them in one corner of the board. Add the Brie next to it, either whole or cut into wedges.
- Add the meats: Roll the salami into cat shapes or fold the slices and arrange them artistically alongside the cheeses. Place the prosciutto in loose folds for an elegant look.
- Incorporate fruits and vegetables: Create clusters with the black grapes around the board. Use the baby bell peppers to shape cat heads, cutting small slice ears on top.
- Place dips and spreads: Spoon the black olive tapenade into small bowls and position them on the board. Drizzle honey over a small section for contrast.
- Add decorative touches: Scatter edible googly eyes over the cheese and meat, and sprinkle fresh herbs around the edges to enhance the festive feel.
- Final touches: Step back, admire your creation, and make any last-minute adjustments to ensure everything is balanced and visually appealing.
