Ingredients
- Cured meats: 3 ounces (such as salami, prosciutto, or chorizo) – Adds a savory, rich flavor to each cup.
- Cheese: 2 ounces (try cheddar, brie, or goat cheese) – A creamy or crumbly texture complements the meats.
- Crackers or breadsticks: 3-4 pieces – These provide a crunchy contrast to the soft cheeses and meats.
- Fresh fruit: 1/2 cup (grapes, figs, or apple slices) – Adds a sweet, refreshing balance to the savory elements.
- Condiments: 1 tablespoon (such as honey, mustard, or fig jam) – Enhances the overall flavor with a touch of sweetness or spice.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven if you plan to serve the cups warm or toast any crackers.
- Combine Ingredients: Begin by slicing the meats and cheeses into bite-sized pieces, making sure everything fits nicely into the cups.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Arrange the mini cups or jars on a tray, ready for filling.
- Assemble the Dish: Start by adding a layer of crackers or breadsticks to the bottom of each cup, then layer the meats, cheeses, and fruits. Don’t forget to add a little condiment on top for extra flavor.
- Cook to Perfection: If you’re using warm ingredients or want to toast your bread, bake them in the oven for a few minutes to get them nice and crispy.
- Finishing Touches: Add fresh herbs or extra condiments as a garnish to make the cups look even more enticing.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Charcuterie Cups immediately, or refrigerate them until ready to serve.
Notes
- Be sure to mix up the colors and textures of the ingredients for a visually appealing plate.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, try incorporating nuts, olives, or pickles into the cups for added flavor.
