Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Quarter flatbreads; cut each quarter into four smaller squares. TIP: Stack flatbreads for quicker cutting!
In a large bowl, combine squares with 2 TBSP olive oil; season generously with salt. Place on baking sheet and toast on top rack until browned, 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, heat a small, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add pecans, 2 tsp Cinnamon Paprika Spice (we sent more), 1½ TBSP sugar, ½ tsp salt, 2 TBSP water, and a pinch of chili flakes. Cook, stirring often, until water has evaporated and pecans are coated and lightly toasted, 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In a small bowl, combine jam and mustard to create mostarda.
Slice gruyere into thin wedges; fan out on one corner of a large board or platter. Place gouda on opposite corner of board from gruyere. Using a butter knife, break gouda into bite-size pieces. Place brie on middle of board.
Arrange half the salami and half the coppa in a single overlapping layer next to gruyere. Repeat with remaining salami and coppa next to gouda (we like layering in an arc shape). Fold each piece of prosciutto into a loose bundle; place next to salami and coppa.
Place bowl with mostarda on board. Fill remaining gaps on board with pecan clusters, grapes, and crackers. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
All of the cheeses were amazing, the antipasto was good, and the jam/mustard mix was the perfect compliment! I wish I could get the Holiday Cheese & Charcuterie Board with my box every week!
The spiced pecans were okay, and the gouda was so-so. Meat selection was great, and gruyere and brie as well. We loved the mostarda and flat bread baked bits. All in all, would order again.
This was a hit at our holiday party! I've always wanted to make a charcuterie but never knew what to use. This made it so simple! I thought the display tray was included, but I had to improvise.
This is a wonderful appetizer for before Christmas Eve dinner. I really love how the pecan clusters turned out and the Mostarda is wonderful on the toasted Flatbreads.
We took this to a friends house for game night and we demolished it. The pecans came out a bit sticky, so would be good to have a bit more direction on how to prevent that. I feel I followed the instructions given. All the items selected were delicious and fresh.
I was hesitant to order this because it was expensive but would order it again. Four of us ate on it twice - more like 8 servings than 4. Really good selection for cheese, fruit, nuts, and bread.
Good! Nice special. Meat and cheese were good, grocery quality. Jam mix great. Flatbread good too, but needed more crackers or something. Spiced nuts are fantastic.
This was good, but I didn't realize it required cooking. Would have preferred no cooking. We were way too exhausted on Christmas Eve to make anything, so were just left with cheese, meats and grapes. Crackers and pre-seasoned nuts would have been good.
2 out of three kinds of cheese were fantastic. The meat was on point. The apricot mustard jam was superb! The only reason I gave 3 stars was that it was a little overpriced and I did not like the Brie.
You have to cook a few items, it's not just open and place on a board. All the meats and cheeses and sauces and flatbread were delicious.
