DIRECTIONS
Equipment note: we used 21 cocktail skewers, and 7 12-ounce glass jars to serve this recipe.
- In a food processor whip together softened cream cheese and heavy cream until well combined and fluffy. Add feta, diced sundried tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and minced or pressed garlic, processing until well combined, scraping down sides often. Evenly divide between serving cups, about 2 tablespoons in each.
- Cut cucumber into 14 even spears, zucchini into 14 even spears, jicama into 14 even spears (or rounds), adding two of each to each serving cup with whipped feta.
- Cut roasted red pepper into 14, 1 ½-inch square pieces. Use a small star cookie cutter to cut ½ ounce stars of pepper jack cheese (7 total), and cut genoa salami into 7 even chunks.
- For each serving, arrange 2 blueberries, 1 blackberry, 1 raspberry, 2 pieces mini mozzarella balls, 2 pieces roasted red pepper, 1 kalamata olive, 1 green olive, 1 piece genoa salami, 1 slice pepperoni, 1 slice sopressata salami, 1 grape tomato, 1 mini dill pickle onto three cocktail skewers. Place into serving cups with sundried tomato whipped feta. Stack 1 slice prosciutto with 1 slice provolone cheese, roll together and add to the cup, garnishing each cup with a sprig of rosemary. One serving is one cup as described.
Cooking Tip
The fun of charcuterie cups is that you can use your creativity and aesthetic to arrange the components in any way that you like! Presenting charcuterie in individual serving cups allows the party to spread away from the table or counter, while keeping serving size in mind to support your best health all the way through the holiday season. We love the idea of using this recipe as a template to riff on by including your favorite veggies for dipping or swapping out any of the elements with your favorites. Note that changing ingredients will change the net carbs per serving.
