Spring Herb Cracker Snack Boards are a springtime picnic must-have. Make these Spring Herb Crackers to take your charcuterie and snack boards to the next level!
Okay, I’ve been watching the entire The Lost Kitchen series on the Magnolia Network the past two months. Any one else? I want every last bit of the vibe in that show. The “nibble boards” chef Erin French assembles and brings to guests as the first course are charcuterie goals. Small bites of local cheeses and meats, honey, nuts, seasonal fruits and vegetables, crackers - they are always a delightful combination of prepared ingredients with a homemade element. That’s definitely some Ina Garten vibes there, too.
Inspired by those beautiful creations, I also have been mildly obsessed with making my own crackers lately. I have made countless batches of these Spring Herb Crackers the past two months, including an on camera demonstration for a “faculty webinar” for the Admissions department at the university where I work. They are based on a recipe from the Food as Medicine Everyday book, which I have discussed in a previous post.
These Spring Herb Crackers are gluten-free, super simple, and an easy way to take your next charcuterie or snack board to the next level. Erin and Ina would be super proud of us for adding a small, homemade element to other store-bought, prepared items to create a casually elegant presentation for our guests. Here’s another item for your spring bucket-list: a causal spring picnic with your friends and these Spring Herb Cracker Snack Boards (and maybe a lovely rose-colored hard cider, like the one pictured below).
