Equipment

  • 6 9 ounce plastic cups or other container for charcuterie
  • 3-4 skewers per cup

Ingredients

Meats:

  • 6 ounces salami
  • 6 prosciutto wrapped mozzarella sticks

Cheeses:

  • 4 ounces smoked gouda cheese cubed
  • 4 ounces havarti dill cheese cubed
  • 4 ounces brie cheese slices

Fruits and Extras:

  • 6 single wrapped Ghiradelli or other chocolates
  • 1 1/2 cups pistachios
  • 6 small pickles/cornichons or olives
  • 2-3 per cup green and red grapes
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 6 fresh rosemary sprigs
  • fig jam small container on the side
  • 6 tall flat crackers or slim breadsticks

Instructions

  • Choose your container. The 9 ounce plastic cups shown worked well for me.
  • Fold salami, cube cheese and wash fruit (be sure to dry really well!).
  • Add nuts to the bottom of each cup. This adds stability to the skewers and they're good to munch on too.
  • Start adding items to your skewers with a mix of ingredients - hard cheese, cheese, fresh fruit and something punchy like olives or mini pickles.
    NOTE: the cups don't have to look exactly the same!
  • Add a flat cracker or breadsticks just before serving. Taller crackers or breadsticks give height variance and look better. Pop in a fresh herb garnish for some wow factor and you're ready to serve!
