Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz Brie cheese, cut into small wedges
  • 4 oz Cheddar cheese, cubed
  • 4 oz Goat cheese, crumbled
  • 4 oz Salami, sliced
  • 4 oz Prosciutto, sliced
  • 4 oz Pepperoni, sliced
  • 1 cup Grapes (red or green), washed and dried
  • 1 cup Strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup Dried apricots or figs
  • 1 cup Baby carrots, washed and trimmed
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, washed
  • 1 cup Cucumber, sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup Mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews)
  • 1/2 cup Honey or fig jam
  • 1/2 cup Hummus or tzatziki
  • Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), for garnish
  • 8 small clear plastic or glass cups (6–8 oz each)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. Make sure your cheeses are at room temperature for easy serving. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes out of the fridge.
  2. Prepare your serving cups. Line them up on a large tray or countertop, making sure they are clean and dry. This will help you assemble the cups more efficiently.
  3. Start by placing cheese in each cup. Add one wedge of Brie, a few cubes of cheddar, and a spoonful of crumbled goat cheese. Aim for a colorful presentation, as this will entice your guests.
  4. Next, layer in the meats. Arrange 1-2 slices of salami, prosciutto, and pepperoni in each cup, tucking them around the cheese to create visual interest. Avoid overcrowding to ensure each ingredient is easily accessible.
  5. Now, add the fruits. Distribute grapes, halved strawberries, and dried apricots or figs evenly among the cups. The vibrant colors will create an appealing contrast against the cheeses and meats.
  6. In the next layer, add the vegetables. Place a few baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices in each cup. These will not only add crunch but also balance out the richness of the cheeses and meats.
  7. Sprinkle a handful of mixed nuts on top of each cup. This will add texture and an additional layer of flavor. Be sure to use a variety of nuts for a delightful crunch.
  8. For the finishing touch, add a dollop of honey or fig jam in one corner of each cup, and a spoonful of hummus or tzatziki in another. This will provide a creamy contrast to the other ingredients.
  9. Garnish each cup with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a fragrant touch. This not only enhances the flavor but also makes your cups visually appealing.
  10. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to an hour before serving. If you’re making them ahead, note that they’re best enjoyed fresh, but they will keep well for a short time.
