This board is in Charcuterie Lab: Keto & Low-Carb Boards, with 19 more keto boards. The book has the shopping list with the net carbs of every item, full macros per serving, the step-by-step build and the carb traps to avoid.

Why it works

This board is for people eating carnivore-style or close to it. Aged cheddar, Gruyère and Parmesan chunks give three textures, and prosciutto, salami, bresaola and bacon give four very different meats.

Pork rinds handle the crunch and hard-boiled eggs make it a meal. Flaky salt on the eggs is the only seasoning it needs. At about 81 g of protein a serving, it's the highest-protein board in the book.

Timeline
