A fresh and vibrant summer charcuterie board featuring juicy stone fruits, creamy cheeses, savory cured meats, and sweet honeycomb, perfect for effortless entertaining.

Ingredients

  • Peaches (ripe and juicy)
  • Plums (preferably red or purple)
  • Cherries (pitted)
  • Burrata cheese
  • Goat cheese
  • Manchego or aged cheddar cheese
  • Thinly sliced prosciutto
  • Thinly sliced soppressata
  • Raw, unprocessed honeycomb
  • Toasted almonds or walnuts
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or basil
  • Crisp crackers
  • Sliced baguette rounds
  • Optional: extra virgin olive oil or balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Wash all fruits thoroughly. Pit the cherries and halve them. Slice peaches and plums into wedges about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. If using burrata, leave it whole or tear gently into chunks. Slice harder cheeses like manchego into thin pieces. Spread goat cheese in small dollops or logs.
  3. Fold prosciutto slices into loose ribbons and lay out soppressata in overlapping circles or small piles.
  4. Place cheese clusters spaced evenly on the board. Fill gaps with stone fruit wedges and cherries. Nestle honeycomb chunks in a small bowl or directly on the board if stable. Scatter toasted nuts and fresh herb sprigs around.
  5. Place crackers and baguette slices around the edges or in dedicated sections.
  6. Drizzle a little olive oil or balsamic glaze over the fruit or cheese if desired. Keep some honeycomb pieces for guests to add as they wish.

Notes

Pick stone fruits that are ripe but firm to avoid sogginess. Let cheeses sit out for 15 minutes before slicing for creamier texture. Keep honeycomb chilled until serving. Fold meats for better presentation and ease of grabbing. Store leftovers properly to maintain freshness.
