Ingredients
Method
- Place a small handful of almonds or pretzels at the bottom of each cup.
- Thread cheese cubes and folded meats onto small skewers. Use one or two skewers per cup.
- Place the skewers inside each cup, leaning them slightly to one side for height and balance.
- Add grapes, strawberries, and berries between the skewers to fill in gaps and add color.
- Tuck olives and cornichons into open spaces near the edges of the cup.
- Insert a breadstick or pretzel stick upright in each cup for added crunch.
- If using honey sticks, Brie cubes, or dried fruit, layer them in next for extra variety.
- Garnish each cup with a fresh rosemary sprig for fragrance and a polished look.
- Refrigerate the completed cups until serving. Keep them upright and chilled for best freshness.
- Serve the charcuterie cups slightly cool, within two hours of removal from the refrigerator.
Notes
Optional Additions: Honey sticks or mini jam jars. Small cubes of Brie or Gouda. Dried apricots or cranberries.
These charcuterie cups can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance if stored covered in the refrigerator. Add breadsticks or crackers just before serving to keep them crisp.
