Pumpkin Patch Smoked Cheese and Fig Board
Equipment
- Charcuterie board
- Cheese knife
- Small bowl
Ingredients
- 8 ounces smoked gouda cheese
- 8 ounces smoked cheddar cheese
- 6 fresh figs, halved
- 1/4 cup fig jam
- 1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
- 4 ounces prosciutto slices
- 1 cup assorted crackers
- Fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
- Slice the smoked gouda and smoked cheddar into wedges or strips and place them in two clusters on a large board to form the base of the arrangement.
- Spoon the fig jam into a small bowl and set it near the center of the board between the cheese clusters.
- Arrange the halved figs around the jam bowl and cheese clusters, spacing them evenly to create visual interest.
- Scatter the roasted pumpkin seeds in small piles beside the figs to fill gaps and add texture.
- Fold the prosciutto slices into loose bundles and tuck them between the cheese and fig sections.
- Add the assorted crackers along the outer edges of the board for easy access.
- Finish by tucking fresh thyme sprigs around the edges as garnish.
Notes
Use a room-temperature board so the smoked cheeses soften slightly for better spreading. If fresh figs are not available, swap in dried figs without changing the rest of the layout. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and refresh the crackers separately to keep them crisp.
