Trader Joes Charcuterie Board Recipe

This savory, crunchy Trader Joes Charcuterie Board Recipe is made with Unexpected Cheddar, salty prosciutto, and fig butter and ready in 15 minutes. Watch the distinct textures blend perfectly as you layer the soft brie against the rustic crackers. I love pulling this together for quick weekend gatherings.

Why This Classic Works

I used to overthink party platters by running to three different specialty shops. I quickly realized that building an entire spread from one grocery store saves time and stress.

The surprise was how well their specific house brand items pair together straight out of the package. Now I rely on their unique crisps and pre-sliced meats for a foolproof spread every single time.

Trader Joes Charcuterie Board Recipe Ingredients

• 4 oz Unexpected Cheddar cheese
• 8 oz double cream Brie wheel
• 4 oz sliced prosciutto
• 4 oz Italian dry salami
• 1 box Fig and Olive Crisps
• 1 box Pita Bite Crackers
• 1/4 cup fig butter
• 1/2 cup Truffle Marcona Almonds
• 1/2 cup cornichons
• 1 cup fresh green grapes

How To Make Trader Joes Charcuterie Board Recipe

1. Position The Anchors: Place the brie wheel and the wedge of cheddar on opposite sides of a large wooden board. Add a small bowl for the fig butter and another for the cornichons.
2. Add The Meats: Fold the salami in quarters and fan it out around the cheddar. Gently drape the prosciutto ribbons in empty spaces near the brie.
3. Layer The Crackers: Arrange the fig crisps and pita bite crackers in curved lines between the meats and cheeses. Keep them slightly overlapping for a full look.
4. Fill The Gaps: Tuck small clusters of green grapes into any large empty spots. Scatter the Marcona almonds over the remaining small crevices until the board is completely full.

Recipe Tips

• Slice the hard cheese: Pre-slicing or crumbling the cheddar encourages guests to dig in immediately.
• Serve at room temperature: Pull the cheeses out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
• Use bowls for wet items: Keeping pickles and jams in ramekins prevents the crackers from getting soggy.

What To Serve With Charcuterie Board

Serve this board with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light Pinot Noir. You can also offer a bowl of warm, crusty baguette slices on the side for spreading the softer cheeses.

How To Store

Remove the crackers and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Wrap the leftover meats and cheeses tightly in plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

FAQs

• Can I make this ahead of time? You can slice the cheeses and fold the meats a few hours early. Wait to add the crackers and nuts until right before serving.
• What size board do I need? A 12×18 inch wooden board or platter works perfectly for this amount of food.
• How many people does this serve? This board will comfortably serve 4 to 6 people as a generous appetizer.
