Super Bowl Charcuterie Board

Super Bowl Charcuterie Board!! Having friends over to watch the big game? You need food! Build a charcuterie board for Super Bowl Sunday! What would you put on your board?

The Super Bowl, the Oscars, the Grammy’s. .  anytime there’s something big on TV, and we’re having friends over, I will put out a cheese and charcuterie board. Because it’s the Super Bowl and football related, I racked my brain trying to come up with something football themed. 

Cheese in the shape of a football, or making the board will like a football field. . but then I realized, that’s not me. As long as I put out food that people will eat and enjoy, I’m good.

Because it’s football, I did change it up. I used little dishes filled with olives, Marcona almonds, cornichons, sweety drop peppers and caramelized pecans to split the board in two. Half of the board is a cheese and charcuterie board with fruit. Two words: Blood Oranges. If you can find blood oranges (check Trader Joe’s) where you live, pick some up!

And I dedicated the other side to ingredients to make roast beef slider sandwiches! And chips. .  because . .  uh, it’s the Super Bowl. Not pictured, a bowl of Doritos, BBQ Ruffles and Cheetos. Oh, and tortilla chips and guacamole and salsa . . because, again SUPER BOWL.

I hope this board provides some inspiration for next Sunday! and truth be told, I’m more excited about J Lo’s halftime show.

• Fruit Fresh, use whatever's in season!

• Nuts & Almonds Choose a few types of nuts that offer both complimenting and contrasting flavors, like candied pecans and spicy almonds, or salty Marcona almonds
