Ingredients
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 wheel creamy camembert cheese
- 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
- 8-10 dried figs
- 1-2 ripe pears, sliced
- Variety of artisan crackers
Instructions
- Prepare the Maple-Glazed Pecans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the pecan halves with maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt until evenly coated. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely.
- Assemble the Charcuterie Board: Place the wheel of camembert and slices of sharp cheddar on your charcuterie board. Arrange the cooled maple-glazed pecans, dried figs, and pear slices around the cheese.
- Add the Crackers: Fill in the remaining spaces with an assortment of artisan crackers, ensuring a balanced and visually pleasing presentation.
- Decorate: Enhance the board with a sprinkle of autumn leaves or festive decor to add a seasonal touch.
Helpful Tips
- If you prefer, you can substitute the camembert with brie or a similar soft cheese.
- For a vegan option, use dairy-free cheese and maple-glazed walnuts or almonds.
- Store any leftover pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
