Easy mini charcuterie cups filled with cheese, crackers, fruit and deli favourites. A stylish, quick entertaining idea perfect for Christmas or gatherings. These also help with reducing your food waste, since we have Christmas in Summer those big cheese platters can go to waste so easily because of the heat. This way everyone gets an individual one and you can restock if you need to while keeping the extras in the fridge
Ingredients
1 Bag of Pretzels
1 Punnet of Strawberries
1 Punnet of Blueberries
1 Small tub Bocconcini (approx. 200g)
1 200g Container of Cherry or small tomatoes
1 Pack of Salami (16 slices)
1 Small brie cheese
1 Pack of Olives
1 Small block of Cheese (any cheddar or tasty flavour)
4 Grissini Sticks
4 Chocolate Wafers
blank
4 x Glasses (use any you have)
Skewers a mix of smaller and medium size
Directions
Get a glass any kind, I used these beautiful ones from The Celebration Society and i like that it has the stem but its not too fragile. But honestly use what you have anything will do even a cup if you need
Add some pretzels in the bottom of the cup to give it height so you can see what’s inside you can add more if needed but about a small handful in each
Now make your skewers, I did mini tomatoes with cheese cut into cubes (i’ve also done bocconcini), brie cut into little triangles with olives, fruit skewer of blueberries & strawberries. The only thing you need to cut is the cheese into cubes and brie into triangles, then cut the tops off your strawberries
Simply use the skewer to go through the middle of each piece you are adding, it should be quite easy to add on. Add one piece from the bottom and push it up to the top then add the next. You want to alternate between at least 2 items on each skewer
To make the salami stick i used 4 pieces of salami and fold each piece into 4 and then place the skewer through the middle with the folded edge towards the back so the open side faces forward and place them all in a row on the skewer and separate the folds a little so it looks full
Add your wafer and grissini at the back. And your done! Enjoy
