Common Questions About Easter Bunny Charcuterie Board

Can I Customize the Board?

Absolutely! Feel free to swap out any ingredients based on preferences or dietary restrictions. The goal is to have fun and create a board that everyone will love on Easter Sunday. This will likely be the focal point of the room, so make it as you wish!

How Do I Keep the Board Fresh?

To keep the board looking its best, assemble it close to serving time. The fruits especially can start to brown if you leave them out. Use plastic wrap to cover any perishable items if you need to prepare a little in advance.

Can I Prepare This the Night Before?

While you can prep some elements the night before, such as washing fruits and cutting vegetables, it’s best to assemble the board on the day of your Easter celebration to ensure freshness.

Storage

This can either be an easy appetizer or the whole Easter dinner. It’s really up to you!

Refrigerator

If you have leftovers, store them in airtight containers. Cheese and meats can last up to a week, while fresh fruits should be eaten within a few days.

Freezer

Freezing is not recommended for this charcuterie board, as it can alter the texture and taste of the ingredients.

Tips

Feel free to include some of your favorite Easter candy on this board as well. The kids will be munching on it anyway, right? Ha!

• Balance Is Key: Combine a variety of textures and flavors, from creamy to crunchy and savory to sweet.
• Fresh Ingredients: Opt for the highest quality cheeses, ripe fruits, and premium meats for the best tasting experience.
• Room Temperature: Bring cheeses to room temperature before serving for the fullest flavor.
• Creative Presentation: Use bunny-shaped cookie cutters for cheeses or vegetables to enhance the Easter theme.

Roses

1. Slice the meats and/or cheeses in half.

3. Then, arrange additional slices around the bud, gradually forming layers to resemble rose petals. 
4. Secure the layers with toothpicks as needed. 
5. Finally, shape and fluff the petals to achieve a more realistic rose appearance. 

Assemble

1. Place the Brie in the middle of the platter. 
2. Place one round of baby bel on the brie round. 
3. Prop the other two rounds of baby bel under the round of brie.
4. Cut and shape the goat cheese into two ears. Place the ears over the brie.
