Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "How to make your own 𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 Charcuterie Board! 🦇🕷
Spooky charcuterie is part feast, part display - molten Camembert, homemade bread and gothic touches. Perfect for Halloween or seasonal snacking.
Assembly - use a wooden board, spooky decor and aim for texture!
1. Baked Camembert with Cranberry Sauce:
Start with a whole wheel of Camembert. Score the top in a crosshatch pattern and spoon cranberry sauce into the centre. Bake at 180°C (fan) for 15–20 minutes until molten and bubbling.
For the drama, plunge a sword pick into the centre once baked (for the vibes)
2. Homemade Bread Rolls:
Mix 500g strong white bread flour, 1 tsp salt, 7g fast-action yeast, and 300ml warm water. Knead until elastic, then let rise for an hour. Shape into rolls, prove for 30 minutes, and bake at 200°C until golden.
Split one open while warm. The steam rising feels like something ancient waking up.
3. Salami Roses:
Fold salami slices over the rim of a small glass, layering them into a rose shape. Chill briefly to hold the form, then place them on the board like preserved blooms.
They’re edible relics - soft, sharp and symbolic.
4. Cubed Cheese:
Cut firm cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or Red Leicester into neat cubes. Arrange in clusters or winding paths.
They add structure and choice - calm amongst the chaos.
5. Crackers for the Haunt:
Use emo looking charcoal crackers to ground the board in gothic tones. Add seeded crackers for texture and contrast (also yum)
They’re not just for crunch - they’re the bones and bark of the spread.
6. Butter/Cheese Dip/hummus:
Serve whipped butter or soft cheese dip in a small wooden bowl. Place it near the bread rolls or crackers.
It’s the potion - smooth, richand ready to be spread with intent.
7. Blueberries (any fruit works):
Scatter blueberries and blackberries in clusters. Tuck them into corners and folds of the board.
They’re the wilds - dark, glossy and slightly unpredictable.
8. Decorative Elements:
Place plastic spiders sparingly across the board. One per quadrant is enough. Add sprigs of rosemary for scent and symbolism.
Cobwebs and string lights around the board help set the mood without overwhelming the food 🕸"
