How To Make A Mickey Mouse Charcuterie Board

Step 1: Start with Salami

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 it 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.

Step 2: Cheese Time

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.

Step 3: Setting up the Board

Choose a large, flat, circle wood board or a Mickey Mouse head wood board.

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. Serve and enjoy the charcuterie board.

This recipe yields 5 to 6 servings and can be prepared for 30 minutes.

How to Store Mickey Mouse Charcuterie Board

Best Way To Store Charcuterie Board Leftover

Sure, having a Charcuterie Board is nice for any occasion, but we don't want to waste any leftovers. In the case of leftover cheese, the general rule is that soft cheeses must be refrigerated for safety reasons, whereas hard cheeses do not need to be refrigerated, but refrigeration will help to extend their shelf life. It is recommended to vacuum-pack and seal leftover cured meats to extend shelf life once placed in the refrigerator.

How Long Will Charcuterie Board Last In the Fridge?

The Charcuterie Board can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, but allow 30 to 40 minutes before serving.
