How to Make an Easter Charcuterie Board
Remove both ends of the cucumber, then slice it into rounds. Arrange the slices on a cutting board, sprinkle them lightly with salt, and let them sit for 5–7 minutes. Afterwards, gently dab away any excess moisture from the cucumber rounds with a paper towel.
Slice a triangular piece of Brie horizontally to create two layers. Use a cookie cutter to cut out a bunny shape on the top layer. Place the top layer back over the bottom layer and fill the bunny cutout with honey.
Repeat this process with semi-hard cheese slices to make matching bunny shapes.
Fold two salami slices together to create a ribbon-like shape. Next, arrange the remaining salami slices in a circle, overlapping them on top of a shot glass. Carefully flip the glass over to reveal a large salami rose.
Arrange the Brie cheese on the board so its pointed tip faces the center. Wrap a ribbon of salami around the edge of the cheese.
Arrange the veggies – cucumbers on the right and roasted peppers on the left. Place the salami rose on top, then add the cookies. Create a small heart-shaped space around the cookies and fill it with chocolate eggs.
Place cherry tomatoes around the cheese, nesting them on baby spinach and arugula layers. Fill any open spots with pretzels, marmalade candy eggs, and any remaining chocolate eggs.
Position the cheese bunnies, then finish off the board with decorative greenery.

Tips to Make the Perfect Easter Cheese Board
Need help building your Easter board like a pro? Here’s what we’ve learned from making a million of these:
- Start big, then fill small. Place your main items (brie, meat, and veggies) first, then fill in the gaps with candies, crackers, and fruit.
- Use height and contrast. Layer ingredients, roll your meats, stack cookies, and use bowls for dips or spreads.
- Go for color. Focus on greens, oranges, yellows, and pastel pinks for that spring vibe.
- Add your favorite seasonal candies or snacks to make it personal.

How to Make an Easter Charcuterie Board
This Easter charcuterie board combines seasonal flavor, spring freshness, and Easter symbolism. This composition will decorate your holiday table and give pleasure to you and your guests.
Combine soft, crunchy, sweet, salty, delicate, and savory ingredients to create the perfect appetizer board. Choose a triangular-shaped brie cheese from which to cut a bunny figurine for the centerpiece. This cute accent is not just a decoration; it represents renewal and spring. The creamy texture of brie cheese perfectly combines with crispy pretzels, which crackers can replace. We used roasted peppers with cheese, paprika, and salami to spice things up. Fresh cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, arugula leaves, and baby spinach will bring juiciness and lightness to the board. Add sweet components - strawberry-filled cookies, chocolate eggs, and egg-shaped marmalade candies to balance the flavor.
Instructions
- Cut off the ends of the cucumber and slice into circles. Place the cucumbers on a board, salt them a little, and let them sit for 5-7 minutes. Blot the cucumber circles with a paper towel to remove excess juice.
- Cut a triangle of brie cheese in half in height. On the top half, use a cookie cutter to make a bunny hole. Return the top half to the bottom half. Fill the hole with honey. Form the same bunnies from slices of semi-hard cheese.
- Fold the salami slices in pairs to form a brightly colored ribbon. Place the remaining salami circles in an overlapping circle on the shot glass and turn over. You will have a large salami rose.
- Place the brie cheese on the board with the pointy end toward the center. Place a ribbon of salami around the edge of the cheese. Arrange the cucumbers on the right and the roasted peppers on the left. Place the salami rose on top and arrange the cookies.
- Place a heart notch around the cookies and fill it with chocolate eggs. Around the cheese, arrange cherry tomatoes on pillows of baby spinach and arugula. Fill the empty spaces with pretzels, marmalade candy eggs, and the remaining chocolate eggs. Arrange the cheese bunnies and decorate the board with greenery.
- Our Easter board is ready to go! Serve it with honey sauce and enjoy your Easter celebration!
