Print Recipe

A quick and easy charcuterie board featuring honey-brushed brie, edible flowers, fresh fruit, nuts, and assorted crackers, perfect for spring gatherings and entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) Brie cheese wheel, preferably triple-cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey, raw or wildflower recommended
  • 1/4 cup edible flowers (pansies, nasturtiums, violets)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes
  • A handful fresh mint leaves
  • 3 cups assorted crackers (3–4 varieties, e.g., water crackers, multigrain)
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
  • Optional: 4 oz (115 g) thinly sliced prosciutto or smoked ham
  • 1/2 cup olives (Castelvetrano or Kalamata)

Instructions

  1. Remove the brie from its packaging and place it in the center of your serving board.
  2. Using a cheese knife, gently score the top of the brie in a crisscross pattern to help the honey soak in better.
  3. Brush 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the top of the brie. If honey is thick, warm it slightly in a bowl of hot water for easier spreading.
  4. Fan out assorted crackers around the brie, varying shapes and textures for visual interest.
  5. Scatter sliced strawberries and grapes in small clusters around the board, filling gaps between crackers.
  6. Spoon chopped toasted walnuts or pecans into small ramekins or sprinkle near fruit clusters.
  7. Add olives in a small bowl or pile near the nuts and fruit.
  8. If using, fold or roll slices of prosciutto and nestle them near the cheese or fruit.
  9. Tuck edible flowers and mint leaves into nooks all over the board, varying colors and sizes for visual appeal. Use kitchen scissors for delicate trimming if needed.
  10. Fill any empty spaces with extra crackers or flowers to create a balanced, inviting look.

Notes

Keep fruit chilled until just before assembling to maintain freshness. Toast nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to enhance flavor. For gluten-free options, use almond flour crisps or gluten-free rice crackers. For dairy-free, substitute brie with soft cashew-based cheese and honey with agave syrup. Assemble board right before serving to avoid sogginess. Leftovers: wrap brie in wax paper and refrigerate up to 3 days; keep crackers separate.
