A quick and easy mini charcuterie snack box perfect for two, featuring a balanced mix of cured meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts, and crackers. Ideal for intimate occasions and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 types of cured meats: thinly sliced prosciutto, salami, or soppressata
  • 3 types of cheeses: soft cheese like goat cheese or brie, firm cheese such as aged cheddar or manchego, crumbly cheese like blue cheese or feta
  • Artisan crackers, baguette slices, or crunchy breadsticks (e.g., Wasa multigrain crackers)
  • Fresh fruit: grapes, apple slices, or fresh figs (seasonal)
  • Dried fruit & nuts: dried apricots, figs, or dates and a handful of roasted almonds or walnuts
  • Olives & pickles: Kalamata olives, cornichons, or marinated artichoke hearts
  • Spreads & dips: fig jam, honey, or grainy mustard
  • Fresh herbs (optional): sprigs of rosemary or thyme

Instructions

  1. Slice chosen cheeses into bite-sized pieces (about 1/2-inch cubes or thin wedges). Arrange on the tray with space between types.
  2. Fold or roll cured meats and place beside cheeses, stacking thin slices if using salami.
  3. Arrange crackers or baguette slices around the edges of the tray without overcrowding.
  4. Scatter fresh fruit like grapes or apple slices in one corner and nestle dried fruit nearby, using small ramekins for juicy fruits.
  5. Fill small bowls or ramekins with olives, pickles, and nuts and position them around the tray.
  6. Add dollops of fig jam, honey, or mustard in small bowls or directly on the tray with a small spoon or spreader.
  7. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs like rosemary or thyme for aroma and color.
  8. Serve immediately or cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Remove 10 minutes before serving to bring to room temperature.

Notes

Serve cheeses at room temperature for best flavor. Assemble close to serving time to keep crackers crisp and fruit fresh. Rolling meats into rosettes adds elegance and saves space. For gluten-free, use rice crackers or gluten-free crisps. For vegetarian, skip meats and add more veggies and hearty cheeses.
