Total Time:10 minutes
Yield:6 servings
Ingredients
Cones
6 paper or plastic cones (or use parchment paper to create your own)
Cured Meats
6 oz assorted cured meats (salami, prosciutto, or pepperoni)
Cheeses
6 oz assorted cheeses (cheddar, gouda, or brie)
Fillings
1 cup mixed nuts
1 cup grapes or cherry tomatoes
Optional: olives, pickles, or crackers for filling
Instructions
Prepare cones, place the six paper or plastic cones upright in a cup or cone holder to keep them stable and easy to fill.
Layer cured meats by adding a portion of the assorted cured meats such as salami, prosciutto, or pepperoni into each cone as the base layer.
Add cheese by placing cubes or slices of the assorted cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or brie on top of the meats in each cone.
Include nuts and fruits by adding a handful of mixed nuts and a few grapes or cherry tomatoes to each cone for texture and freshness.
Add optional fillings like olives, pickles, or crackers if desired to enhance flavor and variety.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, interactive snack that is perfect for parties or gatherings.
Notes
Use parchment paper cones if you don't have paper or plastic cones—simply roll parchment into cone shapes and tape the edges.
For a vegetarian version, substitute cured meats with marinated vegetables or plant-based deli slices.
Choose a variety of cheeses and meats to balance flavors and textures.
To prevent sogginess, add crackers or nuts last to keep them crunchy.
Serve immediately as the cones are best fresh and may wilt if stored for too long.
