    ingredients for flag charcuterie board

    Ingredients

    • Mozzarella cheese: I used the mini pearls to make the stripes in the flag and sliced cut into stars.

    • Blueberries: For the stars section.
    • Star Cookie Cutter: To make the starts out of the cheese.

    How to Make a Flag Charcuterie Board

    cheese stars and blueberries

    1.Pour the blueberries onto the tray and gently push them to the left side to form the “stars” section of the flag.

    2.Cut mozzarella into star shapes and place them on top of the blueberries.

    4. Line the pepperoni ribbons in rows to create red stripes.

    5. Finish by placing mozzarella balls in between the pepperoni rows to complete the flag stripes.

    Tips & Variations

    • Cheese Ideas: Use white cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Swiss.
    • Swap the Meats: Don’t love pepperoni? Try salami instead.
    • Make it Sweet: Want a dessert version? Swap the pepperoni for strawberries, add mini marshmallows or white chocolate squares, and keep the blueberries as-is.

    Leftover Storage

    • Wrap any leftover meats and cheeses in plastic wrap or store in airtight containers separate in the fridge.
    • Keep leftover blueberries in a sealed container and enjoy them within a few days.

    If you prep the board in advance, wait to add crackers or bread until just before serving.
