Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer charcuterie board featuring ripe peaches, creamy brie, cured meats, and crunchy nuts, perfect for parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, sliced
  • One 8-ounce wheel of brie cheese
  • 6 ounces cured meats (prosciutto, soppressata, or salami)
  • 1–2 cups crackers or baguette slices
  • A handful of fresh thyme or basil leaves
  • ½ cup toasted almonds or walnuts (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ cup mixed olives (optional)
  • Optional extras: dried cranberries or figs, grainy mustard, balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches gently. Slice into thin wedges about ¼ inch thick.
  2. Take the brie out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving to soften slightly, then cut into wedges or small chunks.
  3. Fan out the cured meats on the board, folding slices for texture and visual appeal.
  4. Arrange crackers or baguette slices along one edge or in small stacks around the board.
  5. Fill small bowls with nuts and olives, placing them strategically on the board. Toast nuts in a dry skillet for 3-5 minutes beforehand.
  6. Scatter fresh thyme or basil leaves over and around the board.
  7. Lightly drizzle honey over the brie and peaches just before serving.
  8. Add any optional extras like dried fruit or grainy mustard. Fill gaps with extra peach slices or crackers for balance.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches with a slight give. Let brie come to room temperature before slicing for best texture. Toast nuts lightly to enhance flavor. Assemble the board just before serving to keep crackers crisp and peaches fresh. For gluten-free, use rice crackers or apple slices. For vegetarian, omit cured meats and add marinated artichokes or roasted red peppers.
