Easter Egg Shaped Charcuterie Board with Fresh Fruit
Looking for a fun and festive way to serve fruit at Easter? This easy Easter egg charcuterie board is shaped like a giant egg and filled with colorful fresh fruit. It's simple to assemble, and doubles as a beautiful centerpiece for your Easter brunch table.
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- ¾ lb red grapes (about half a standard 1.5 lb bag)
- 1.5 lb green grapes (a full standard bag)
- 1 lb strawberries, greens removed and halved
- 1 pint blueberries
- 2 green apples, sliced
- 1 lb cut cantaloupe
- 1 can mandarin oranges in water, drained well (15 oz can)
Instructions
- Wash and dry all fruit. Hull and halve strawberries, cut cantaloupe into bite-sized chunks, and drain mandarin oranges well. Slice apples thin (less than 1/4 inch) and treat with fruit preserver or a lemon juice soak (1 tablespoon lemon juice + 1 cup water, 5 minutes, pat dry). Set everything aside in prep bowls.
- Starting at the bottom center of the board, place one red grape. Add one grape on each side and continue building outward and upward, gradually angling the grapes to form the wider middle of the egg. As you near the top, angle inward until the grapes meet to complete the oval shape.
- Starting at the bottom of the egg and working upward, fill in with horizontal rows of fruit one variety at a time. I used cantaloupe, green grapes, strawberries, blueberries, green apple slices, and mandarin oranges. Alternate colors for the best visual impact.
- Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1-2 hours before serving.
Notes
Nutritional information is an estimate and provided to you as a courtesy. You should calculate the nutritional information with the actual ingredients used in your recipe using your preferred nutrition calculator.
The fruit amounts listed are based on a large round board (approximately 22" x 17") and serve roughly 8–12 people. Adjust quantities as needed to fit your board size and the number of guests you're serving.
Don't have the exact fruits listed? Swap in whatever you have on hand! Raspberries, blackberries, kiwi, watermelon, pineapple, and cherries are all great options for this Easter fruit charcuterie board.
For the best results, assemble this board no more than 1-2 hours before serving. Pat all fruit dry before placing it on the board to prevent slipping and color bleeding.
