Chef Millie's Charcuterie Tips:•When plating a charcuterie board, you want to plate the star of the show in the middle-that's our catfish nuggets!-because we want people to eat it while it's hot. You probably won't have to worry about re-heating anything because McCormick seasonings add so much flavor, everything will be devoured before any reheating is necessary. •You can turn any soul food staple into a small bite perfect for a charcuterie board - whether it's collard greens you turn into spring rolls, mac-n-cheese into fried gooey nuggets of goodness, or banana pudding made into individual pie bites. •Adding ready-made sauces to the board for dipping allows guests to create their own unique combos in every bite. Mini ramekins with an assortment of condiments like Stubb's® Bar-B-Q Sauce, Zatarain's® Creole Mustard, or even French's® Mustard can really jazz up the board.
