Tis the season for all the delicious holiday boards! They are so fun and easy to make!

What do you put on a Christmas charcuterie board?

Anything you want really! Use whatever you have on hand at home. Some delicious go-tos include charcuterie meats, cheeses (sliced or cubed), olives, roasted nuts, creamy spreads, crackers, veggies and herbs (for the leafy part). You can even include some sweet bites like dried fruits, chocolate-covered nuts or pretzels and one-bite Christmas cookies.

Instructions

Salami Mickey Mouse Heads
Take your first slice of salami and lay it on a clean surface or cutting board.
Lay the next salami on top of the previous salami only covering half of the bottom salami. Repeat with 4 more salami round slices.
Now roll the salami up into a circle.
Place the salami circle in a small glass and set to the side.
Begin the Mickey ears by rolling up 1 salami round into a small circle.
Use toothpicks to adhere the ears to the Mickey Head.
Create a second Mickey head and set it to the side.

Mickey Mouse Brie
Use a large sized Mickey Mouse head cookie cutter, and press it into the Brie. Remove the excess Brie and set the Mickey head Brie to the side.

Setting up the board
Choose a large, circle wood board or a Mickey Mouse head wood board. (This is a really nice Mickey Board and it’s on sale right now too!!)
Start by putting the Brie, Mickey Mouse head cookie cutter, and Mickey Mouse hand cookie cutter on the board. Next place your Mickey Mouse salami heads on the board, placing them on separate ends.
Fill your small ramekin with your jam of choice and place it on the board.
Add your small chunked cheese to your Mickey hand cookie cutter, and spread evenly.
Place the remaining cheese on the board.
Add the fruit, olives and tomatoes to the board.
Fill in the empty spots on the board with your pretzels and Jordan almonds.
Fill your Mickey head cookie cutter with Mickey Mouse Goldfish crackers.
