Top Chef Winner Kelsey Barnard Clark Has a Foolproof Formula for an Insta-Worthy Charcuterie Board
The Top Chef winner spilled the secret to "a good spread."
As the winner of Bravo's Top Chef Season 16, Kelsey Barnard Clark knows her way around an oven. But the culinary pro also has a certain no-cook recipe that's sure to wow 'em every time, and she recently took to Instagram to spill her secret.
To caption a photo of gorgeous platters piled high with nuts, fruits, cheeses, and more, Kelsey wrote, "There’s nothing in the world to me that is better than a good charcuterie board." She added, " I had a friend ask what the secret was to a good spread and I thought I’d share my little rule of thumb I go by."
Ready to take notes? Here's Kelsey's master class in the art of charcuterie arranging:
"• 1 hard, soft and semi-hard cheese
• 2 spreads/ condiments (honey, jam)
• 3 fruits & dried meats
• 4 crunch (pickles, wasabi peas, nuts, olives)
• 5 dippers (crackers, pita, bread, veg crudité)"
And there you have it! To get a little more inspiration, take a look at the photo Kelsey posted, below:
