Print Recipe

A fresh and easy summer grazing board featuring creamy Brie, salty prosciutto, and sweet stone fruits, perfect for outdoor entertaining and quick gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces Brie cheese (soft, creamy, and mild)
  • Optional: Goat cheese log (for tangy contrast)
  • 6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • Optional: Soppressata or salami for variety
  • 2–3 medium peaches, ripe but firm, sliced
  • 2–3 medium nectarines or plums, sliced (seasonal)
  • Optional: Cherries or apricots, pitted and halved
  • ½ cup Marcona almonds or roasted walnuts
  • Rustic crackers or sliced baguette (fresh or toasted)
  • A handful fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons honey (for drizzling)
  • Good quality extra virgin olive oil (for light drizzling)
  • Fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: Fig jam or a tangy chutney

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (10 minutes): Wash and gently dry all stone fruits. Slice peaches, nectarines, and plums into thin wedges about ¼ inch thick. Pit cherries and apricots if using. Arrange them in separate piles on a plate to keep colors distinct.
  2. Slice the Cheese (5 minutes): Remove Brie from the fridge about 15 minutes before assembling so it softens slightly. Cut into wedges or leave whole for a rustic look. If using goat cheese, slice into rounds or crumble.
  3. Arrange the Meats (5 minutes): Fold or roll prosciutto slices into loose ribbons or rosettes. Add other cured meats if desired in small piles or rolls.
  4. Assemble the Board (10 minutes): Place cheese wedges evenly spaced. Fill gaps with fruit slices, then nestle prosciutto around cheeses and fruit. Add small bowls with honey, fig jam, and nuts. Tuck basil leaves in between for color and fragrance.
  5. Final Touches: Drizzle honey and olive oil over fruit and cheese just before serving. Grind fresh black pepper over Brie. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt.

Notes

Pick stone fruits that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness. Assemble the board shortly before serving for freshness. Keep cheese and fruit covered separately if prepping ahead. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crackers or fresh apple slices instead of bread.
