My Charcuterie Boards Keep Going Viral – Here’s Why

I get asked quite often what my favorite charcuterie ingredient is, and while this is an incredibly difficult question to answer (hello, I love them all…except olives, but that’s a conversation for a different time), my response is always:

“BRIE…duh”.

And I must not be the only one who loves brie – because this particular brie styling technique always goes viral on social media. Every. Single. Time.

& today, I’m going to show you EXACTLY how to make it.

Brie can transform any ordinary board into a beautiful work of art.

If you’re currently asking yourself, “what brie styling technique is she talking about?”, well, it’s called the Brie Pinwheel….at least that’s what I like to call it, and it’s one of my favorite charcuterie “go-to’s”. Here’s why:

1. It’s extremely easy to make
2. It can help create height on your board
3. It draws your eye in
4. It helps add dimension

And all you need is a round of brie (not a wedge) a cutting board, and a knife – easy peasy! Note: these products contain affiliate links.

The Prep:

Step #1

Place your brie round on your cutting board.

Step #2

Using your knife, slice your brie in half, and then slice it in half again to create 4ths.

Step #3

Now slice each 4th in half two more times until each piece is sliced into 16ths. Each brie slice should be relatively small.

Step #4

Your final brie should look similar to the picture above. Once it’s sliced, it’s ready to be transitioned to your final platter.

Step #1

Place your already sliced brie round on your final arrangement platter.

Step #2

Seperate the slices so that they aren’t quite touching, but they’re still close to each other.

Step #3

Now begin to lay each slice onto the slice next to it, like falling dominos.

Step #4

You’ll be left with a beautiful, pinwheel pattern, which creates an incredible backdrop for fruits, meats, or a cute jar of honey!

& there ya have it! How beautiful? Let me know if you’ll try this on your next board below.
