Equipment
- Charcuterie Cones
- Cone display rack
Ingredients
- ¾ pound Cherry tomatoes
- 1 bunch Basil
- 24 Bocconcini Mozzarella pearls
- 24 Castelvetrano olives
- 6 ounces Prosciutto
- 24 Dried Apricots
- 24 Breadsticks
- 24 Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 72 Grapes
- ½ pound Sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Wash the produce and set aside to dry on a paper towel.
- Take one tomato, one basil leaf, and one small ball of mozzarella and thread them onto a toothpick. Set aside in a bowl.
- Slice a piece of prosciutto into pieces (long side) and fold them back and forth, ribbon-like.
- Thread two pieces of ribboned prosciutto with one dried apricot onto the cocktail pick. Set aside in a bowl.
- Take one Castelvatrano olive and one cube of sharp cheddar cheese and thread on another toothpick. Set aside in a bowl.
- Unwrap your breadsticks and set them aside.
- Set cones in the cone stand.
- Into each cone, place three grapes into the bottom of the cone. This is the perfect way to make the other items set higher in the cone and be a nice treat at the end.
- Next, place the items that are on toothpicks in the cone with the flat part of the toothpick facing up. The order doesn't matter.
- Add a breadstick to each cone and garnish with a sprig of rosemary or your choice of fresh herbs.
Notes
Use your favorite meats like salami, Iberico ham, or mortadella.
Any kind of cheese would work, including soft cheeses like brie cut into small slices.
Try adding a small piece of honeycomb for a delicious treat as well as a pretty presentation!
It's best to prepare a cone in advance to make sure it works. Sometimes things sound great in our heads and then just don't work as we thought! (Or is that just me?!)
Don't overfill the cones. Remember there will be other appetizers, so this should be just enough food to get a taste of everything.
