Bunny Charcuterie Board Ingredients:
Just like with any charcuterie board that you make, you can use your favorite fruits, veggies, and snack foods on the board. You don’t have to follow my recipe exactly.
But it’s also so much easier to follow a recipe – I get it! So, here is a short list of what I used to make my bunny charcuterie board, along with any notes about them.
- Sliced Meat: Use your favorite processed meta, like prosciutto, salami or ham
- Sliced Cheese: I used provolone
- Brie Cheese: This is for the bunny shape.
- BabyBel Cheese: This is for the bunny shape too
- Goat Cheese: These make the shape for the bunny’s ears.
- Asparagus: The long, vertical shapes add direction to the sides of the plate.
- Grapes: Use the grapes to fill in any gaps in the board
- Carrots: All bunnies need to eat carrots! Cut them into sticks.
- Blueberries: They add the contrasting blue colors.
- Raspberries: This berry adds a lovely color to the board.
- Strawberries: Slice them into small pieces so they’re easier to eat.
- Tomatoes: Use a small variety, like cherry or grape tomatoes.
- Nuts: Add your favorite types or leave them out.
- Cucumber: Don’t peel them and add them to the bottom with the green colors.
- Olives: These are optional but they add to the green colors.
- Apricots: Dried apricots are best on snack boards and match the orange colors at the top.
- Deviled Eggs: Use your favorite deviled egg recipe.
- Sauces: I added whole-grain mustard and honey to the board in individual bowls.
- Garnish: Fresh rosemary and parsley are perfect garnishes.
After you get all your ingredients together, all you have to do is organize them on your board!
I like to prep some of the ingredients ahead of time. Pre-blanche the asparagus, make the deviled eggs, and peel the carrots.
Then, all you have to do is arrange everything on the board!
How To Make The Bunny Cheese
The bunny in the middle of the board is the centerpiece. And it’s super simple to create.
First, place the round brie cheese in the middle of the serving board.
Second, add the BabyBel cheese rounds as the two paws and one on top as the bunny’s tail.
Third, add logs of goat cheese as the fluffy white ears.
That’s it! No fancy piping or complicated decorating is required.

How To Make Salami Roses
These salami roses will also grab everyone’s attention. Here’s how to make them.
First, cut the salami slices in half.
Second, roll each piece of salami in a different direction.
Finally, place a toothpick through the salami rose to keep it together.
