Santa Called, and He Wants Charcuterie: Santa Boots - A Festive Holiday Recipe 🎅🥾
The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than by creating a charcuterie masterpiece that even Santa himself would give a hearty "Ho, ho, ho" of approval? Today, I'm thrilled to share with you a delightful recipe for charming Charcuterie Santa boots made from adorable glass cups I stumbled upon at Hobby Lobby. These glass boots are the perfect vessel for a festive and delicious holiday charcuterie display that will leave your guests feeling merry & bright!
SANTA BOOTS
The Ingredients You'll Need:
Pistachios
Dried cranberries
Rosemary sea salt crackers
Skewers for baby brie cheeses
Mini Baby Brie Cheeses from Trader Joe's
Manchego slices
Green olives
Tomatoes
Cornichons
Lucy Glo apples
Fresh basil
Red roses 🌹
The Magic in the Mini Baby Brie Cheeses:
To add an extra layer of charm to your charcuterie creation, consider using the Mini Baby Brie Cheeses from Trader Joe's. These bite-sized wonders are not only creamy and delicious but also perfect for skewering to create adorable snowmen figures on your board. The small size allows for easy placement and a delightful visual appeal. If you don't have a Trader Joe's nearby, look for similarly sized mini brie cheeses at your local grocery store.
Step-by-Step Assembly:
Create a Flavorful Base: Start by layering the glass boots with a mix of pistachios and dried cranberries. This not only adds a burst of flavor but also sets the stage for a visually stunning presentation.
Build Snowmen with Baby Brie: Skewer the Mini Baby Brie Cheeses to create charming snowmen figures or "snowballs" on your charcuterie board. This not only adds a festive touch but also introduces a rich and creamy element to balance the flavors.
Play with Colors: Keep the color scheme in tune with the holiday spirit by incorporating Manchego slices, green olives, tomatoes, cornichons, Lucy Glo apples, fresh basil, and a touch of elegance with red roses. The red, white, and green hues will make your charcuterie creation visually appealing and perfectly festive.
Spread the Joy:
Your gatherings will be the talk of the town, and who knows, Santa might just make a special stop at your house for these festive charcuterie boots!
