Ingredients

Mustards

  • ¼ cup Lowensenf Bavarian Sweet Mustard
  • ¼ cup Lowensenf Medium Mustard
  • ¼ cup Düsseldorfer Löwensenf Extra Scharf Hot Mustard

Other additions

  • ¼ cup sauerkraut
  • ½ cup cornichons
  • ½ cup trail mix

Cheeses

  • 8 ounces cambozola, triple cream blue cheese
  • 8 ounces aged gouda
  • 2 cups beer cheese dip, click link for the recipe

Meats

  • 2 grilled bratwurst, click link for the recipe
  • 10 ounces sliced salami

Pretzels and crackers

  • 4 frozen soft pretzels
  • 5.3 ounces pretzel breadsticks
  • 1 cup pretzel slims, or pretzel twists
  • 1 cup rye chips

Instructions

  • Fill small bowls or ramekins with the different mustards, sauerkraut, and cornichons. Arrange them on a large wood board.
  • Add any cheeses to the board, except the beer cheese dip. If it’s a hard cheese, I recommend slicing it before adding it to the board. If it’s a soft cheese, you can place it whole on the board with a cheese spreader.
  • Place the board in the fridge while preparing the warm items for the board.
  • Prepare the grilled bratwurst by first simmering the brats in beer and sauerkraut on the stove for 15 minutes. Grill the bratwurst for 2-3 minutes per side, then remove them from the grill and place them on a cutting board. Cover them with a piece of foil to keep them warm.
  • Heat soft pretzels in the oven according to the package directions on the box.
  • Prepare the beer cheese dip on the stove. Pour the beer cheese dip into a bowl and add it to the board, along with the soft pretzels.
  • Slice the bratwurst and add it to the board.
  • Add the pretzel breadsticks, pretzel slims, rye crackers, sliced salami, and trail mix to the board. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The cheeses listed above are what I used on the board, you could also add emmentaler, brie, blue cheese, camembert, or muenster.
  • The mustards listed above are the ones that I used on this board, you could add any mustard you would like, but I recommend a combination of sweet, hot and whole grain mustards. Lowensenf Whole Grain Mustard and Düsseldorf Style Mustard are both great additions.
