Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Christmas Charcuterie Wreath
  1. Start by gathering all your Charcuterie Wreath ingredients. Slice the salami, pepperoni, and prosciutto into bite-sized pieces. Cube the fontina cheese and drain the mozzarella pearls. Cut the roasted red peppers into strips and halve the cherry tomatoes. Arrange everything on a large cutting board for easy access, making sure all preparations are complete for a smooth assembly.
  2. Using large toothpicks, begin skewering your choice of ingredients, ensuring to mix colorful options like green olives, artichoke hearts, and cherry tomatoes. Aim for a vibrant assortment that highlights the visual nature of the Christmas Charcuterie Wreath. Each skewer should be loaded without overcrowding to maintain balance, making it easy for guests to grab at the party.
  3. Take a large round platter or serving board and place the skewers in a circular wreath design. Start from the outer edge and work your way inward, making sure to alternate ingredients for a pleasing aesthetic. This arrangement not only enhances the festive look of your Charcuterie Wreath but also allows guests to see the variety of flavors available.
  4. Once the skewers are arranged, tuck rosemary sprigs evenly throughout the wreath. This will not only add a delightful aroma but also enhance the visual appeal, giving your Christmas Charcuterie Wreath a holiday touch. Ensure the rosemary is strategically placed to balance color and height among the skewers.
  5. Sprinkle micro greens over the entire wreath for an added freshness and dimension. This final touch will make your Charcuterie Wreath come alive visually. Serve immediately for the best taste, or refrigerate it for up to an hour before your gathering.
