Instructions

1. Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat the oven to 425°F. Slice the demi-baguette crosswise into eight rounds. Spread the slices out on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toast on the top rack until golden brown, 5-10 minutes.
2. Slice the Gruyère cheese into thin wedges and fan them out on a serving board or large plate. Separate the coppa, salami and prosciutto from the antipasto pack and arrange them in sections on the board alongside the cheese.
3. Serve the cheese and charcuterie with the warm crostini and fig jam on the side.
4. Optional: Enhance your board with your favorite toasted nuts or dried fruit (not included in the bundle).

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I substitute the Gruyère with another cheese?

Yes, you can use any semi-hard cheese like Comté, Emmental or even a sharp cheddar.

How should I store leftovers?

Wrap the cheese tightly in wax paper and store in the refrigerator. Keep meats in an airtight container. Crostini can be stored in a sealed bag at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Can I make this board ahead of time?

You can slice the cheese and arrange the meats a few hours in advance. Toast the baguette just before serving to keep it crisp.
