    🌟 Why this recipe works

    Easter Charcuterie Board with savory and sweet snacks.

    Charcuterie boards are so popular for good reason.

    • Customizable - You can customize any charcuterie board with your favorite foods to serve.
    • Feeds a crowd - Large food boards like this are an easy way to feed small groups and large gatherings alike.
    • Easy - It's super easy to put together a beautiful board!

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Bowls of ingredients to make an Easter Charcuterie Board.

    For this fun Easter charcuterie board, we use an oval platter to mimic the shape of an Easter egg. Then we load up the top with savory foods and the bottom with favorite Easter candy. All items you can easily find at your local grocery store.

    Savory food items:

    • Deviled eggs - A classic Easter appetizer and they look perfect on charcuterie boards! Try our Crab Deviled Eggs for something a little different. You can also simplify things by slicing hard-boiled eggs in half and serving those. Or slice some Easter eggs in bright colors in half and place around the platter.
    • Cheese - Add a variety of cheeses, including sliced cheese cut into different shapes.
    • Meat - Serve a variety of meats on your charcuterie board. Prosciutto, salami, and cubed or sliced ham are all good meats to include on a spring board.
    • Fresh fruit - Choose fresh fruit such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and grapes.
    • Fresh vegetables - Feature spring vegetables like carrots, radishes, cucumbers. I also like to use shredded lettuce as the bed for the deviled eggs, because the lettuce looks like spring grass.
    • Crackers - If you can find crackers in spring shapes like ovals and butterflies, include those! Otherwise, any small square or round crackers will work.

    Sweet food items:

    • Spring cookies - You can make spring sprinkle cookies, strawberry crinkle cookies, lemon crinkle cookies, or matcha crinkle cookies.
    • Peeps - Can't forget this classic Easter treat! I like to include Peeps in a variety of spring colors.
    • Easter candies - Reese's chocolage eggs, Cadbury mini eggs, spring jelly beans, bunny-shaped cookies, chocolate bunnies, and Easter M & M colorful candies are all good choices to include in this board.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    This is a super easy recipe to make!

    The full list of ingredients and detailed instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. But for you visual learners, here are step-by-step photos to show you the evolution of creating an Easter charcuterie board.

    1. Place any bowls of dips, nuts, or other small items on the plate first.
    2. Fill in around the dip bowls with vegetables.
    3. Please a row of shredded lettuce below the sliced vegetables.

    4. Place deviled eggs on top of the lettuce.
    5. Spread out the cheeses and crackers below the deviled eggs. I like to also tuck the cheese slices cut in different shapes all around the platter where there are empty spots.
    6. Next it's time to add the Easter candies!

    If there are open spots on the board or platter, you can fill those in with smaller candies, like jelly beans or M & Ms, or with nuts.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    spring almond cookies.
    What is the 3-3-3-3 rule for creating charcuterie boards?

    A common general guideline for putting together traditional charcuterie boards is selecting 3 meats, 3 cheeses, 3 starches (crackers, bread), and 3 accompaniments (nuts, fruits, etc). This is a fine general guideline to use as a base for themed boards.

    What should not be included in an Easter charcuterie board?

    While you can include almost any food, there are a few items that might be best to avoid. Spicy foods are tricky to include, as the rest of the board is full of mild foods as well as sweet desserts. Foods that may "bleed" color onto other foods should be contained in small bowls or simply dried and kept away from foods like crackers and cheeses.

    How far in advance can I make a charcuterie board?

    You can prep many of the items, such as slicing vegetables, washing and drying fruits, and slicing cheeses, then storing items in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the board. Try to assemble to board no longer than 30 minutes before the start of a party, and keep a close eye on the time to ensure the board doesn't stay out at room temperature for longer than two hours.

    How long can a charcuterie board stay out at room temperature?

    According to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), most foods should not be kept out at room temperature for longer than two hours. After that, most foods start to get into the danger zone of potentially growing bacteria and making people ill.

    🍽 Serving ideas

    deviled eggs in front of sliced carrots and celery.

    For this fun Easter charcuterie board, add our Homemade Dairy-Free Spinach Dip, Smoked Salmon Artichoke Dip, or Classic Hummus Dip.

    If serving this for Easter dinner, consider also serving Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus, Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb, and Crab Deviled Eggs.

    There are so many different variations of an Easter themed charcuterie board that you can make! Use this recipe as a base, then feel free to switch up a few ingredients to make one of these beautiful Easter charcuterie board ideas.

    • Easter brunch charcuterie board - If you're hosting an Easter breakfast or brunch, make a brunch board! Use the savory items in this Easter platter and add bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, cubed ham, and even more fresh fruit and granola.
    • Dessert board - Celebrate the Easter holiday with lots of sweet treats by using this board as a base to make an Easter dessert board!
    • Easter cheese board - Use cookie cutters to cut out fun Easter shapes from cheese slices, like bunnies, ducks, and eggs. Serve them alongside soft cheeses, like brie or camambert, and hard cheeses, like aged gouda cheese, asiago, or parmesan cheese.

    🍷 🥂 Wine pairings

    pink Peeps, yellow Peeps, green Peeps and chocolate covered eggs.

    Since this board has both sweet and savory foods, you can serve this with either red wine, white wine, rosé wine, or sparkling wine!

    We love serving a nice bright and effervescent sparkling wine with this Easter charcuterie board.
