Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz salami, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz pepperoni slices
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 4 oz mozzarella pearls or small fresh mozzarella balls
  • 4 oz gouda, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup red grapes, washed and dried
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots or dates
  • 1/2 cup almonds (roasted and salted)
  • 1/2 cup walnut halves
  • 1/2 cup pretzel sticks or crackers
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
  • Honey for drizzling (optional)
  • Olives (kalamata or green, pitted) (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Cube cheeses into 1/2-inch pieces. Wash and dry grapes and cherry tomatoes. Leave dried apricots whole or halve them.
  2. Organize components: Place each ingredient in a separate small bowl for easy assembly.
  3. Layer the base: In each cup, add a few pretzel sticks or crackers, then a handful of almonds and walnuts.
  4. Add the meats: Fold or roll salami slices and place in cups. Add prosciutto and pepperoni slices.
  5. Add the cheeses: Drop in 3-4 cubes of cheddar, 2-3 mozzarella pearls, and a few cubes of gouda per cup.
  6. Add fruits and vegetables: Place 3-4 grapes, 2-3 cherry tomato halves, and a piece of dried apricot or date in each cup.
  7. Finish with garnishes: Tuck a small rosemary sprig into each cup and drizzle with honey if desired.
  8. Arrange and serve: Place cups on a serving tray. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.

Notes

For best results, pat mozzarella pearls dry to avoid soggy crackers. Assemble up to 4 hours ahead, but add crackers just before serving. Let cups sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.
