Charcuterie Cups
Description
This recipe for Charcuterie Cups turns classic snack board components into portable, visually appealing individual servings. The glasses are lined with long crackers or breadsticks paired with seedless grapes at the base for texture contrast. Folded slices of salami and other meats are threaded with olives on picks to add height and flavor layers.
Various cheeses—cheddar, Brie, pepper jack—are cut into different shapes to provide visual variety and rich dairy notes. Additional meats like ham or prosciutto are rolled or folded and added along with small crackers. Fresh herbs are tucked around the edges for aromatic garnish and a pop of green.
This format makes charcuterie easy to serve at parties or small gatherings without the need for cutting or shared platters. Ingredients can be adjusted based on preferences, and the inclusion of seedless grapes and complementary textures enhances the experience.
Ingredients
- 24 long crackers or breadsticks
- 48 grapes green or purple, seedless
- 24 small crackers or short crackers
- 24 lices salami thin sliced, or pepper salami
- 12 lices ham or turkey
- 12 lices prosciutto or pancetta
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese or other hard cheese
- 8 ounces Brie cheese or bocconcini, or other soft cheese
- 8 ounces pepper jack cheese or other flavored cheese
- 12 olive or small pickles
- fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Place 2 long crackers or breadsticks in each glass. Add 4 to 5 grapes to each glass to fill the bottom.
- Fold the salami into quarters. Thread one olive onto each pick followed by the slices of salami. Add a skewer to each cup, poking the end into a grape to hold it in place.
- Cut the hard cheeses into slices, triangles, or cubes varying the shapes for visual interest.
- Add the hard cheeses to the cups (they can be added on picks if you'd like).
- Roll or fold the remaining meat and add it to the cups along with the remaining crackers.
- Tuck herbs into the glasses for garnish.
Notes
- Feel free to mix and match different meats and cheeses based on preference.
- Adding dried fruits or a small square of dark chocolate brings a pleasant sweetness to the cups.
- Nuts can also be included for extra texture and flavor contrast.
- Use seedless grapes to avoid seeds while eating.
