Highland Cow Charcuterie Board
This Highland Cow Charcuterie Board is an adorable grazing board filled with meats, cheeses, fruit, nuts & crackers, perfect for parties.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Hard Salami
- Pepperoni slices, I used 26
- 3 Provolone Cheese Slices
- 4 Green Olives
- Cubed cheese, mild cheddar & swiss
- Variety of nuts
- Grapes, red & green
- Crackers
Instructions
- Create the cow's face by laying the hard salami into two slightly overlapping columns to form a rounded face.
- Cut 2 salami pieces in half and overlap them so they form a point to create the ears. Lay them down on each side of the face for ears.
- Cut two horn shapes from the provolone cheese slices and place them near the top of the board.
- Cut one long strip and one oval from the remaining provolone slices to create the cow's nose and muzzle.
- Place two green olives on the muzzle to create the nostrils.
- Place two green olives on the top salami for eyes.
- Make the Highland cow's shaggy hair by rolling pepperoni into roses. To do this, overlap two slices of pepperoni, fold them in half lengthwise, then tightly roll them into a flower shape. Place them into between the horns to create the fluffy hair.
- Arrange crackers, fruit, nuts, cheeses, and any additional charcuterie items around the cow until the board is full.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
How to Store a Cow Charcuterie Board
If you have leftovers, cover the board tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the ingredients to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep crackers separate from meats and cheeses so they don't become soft.
