Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Cut the pear in half lengthwise, keeping it whole. Slice it thinly, then arrange the slices on the lower part of your board, keeping the pear in its original shape.
    1 small pear
  • From one triangle cheese piece, cut small sticks to make the turkey’s beak and legs. Place these on the pear, and add candy eyes on top to complete the face.
    Triangle cheese, Candy eyes
  • Arrange the rest of the ingredients — chips, pita bread, Lady Fingers, salami, cured ham, mini pretzels, olives, grapes — in circles around the pear. Place items in patterns to fill out the board.
    Chips, Cut pita breads, Small Lady Fingers, Salami, Cured Ham, Mini pretzels, Olives, Grapes

Notes

  • Mix It Up: Try slicing the salami and ham in different ways for variety and a cool visual effect.
  • Strategic Layering: Place softer cheeses near the center and sturdier items like pretzels around the edges.
  • Add Pops of Color: Use grapes and pear slices where you need a splash of color and freshness to break up all the savory flavors.
  • Prevent Sogginess: Keep pita and pretzels away from wetter items to maintain their crunch.
  • Fun with Eyes: The candy eyes are a playful touch — perfect for getting a laugh or two from guests.
  • Cheese Variety: Include a mix of soft and hard cheeses so there’s something for everyone’s taste.
  • Fill It Up: If you’re serving a crowd, don’t skimp! Pack the board with enough layers to make it feel abundant and inviting.
