Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 8 slices Salami
- 8 slices Capicola
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts (marinated)
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup Green olives (stuffed or plain)
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers (jarred or fresh-prepped)
- 1 loaf Crusty baguette or Italian bread
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for drizzling)
- 1 handful Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing your serving platter or board. Choose a large plate, wooden board, or tray that will allow for an attractive arrangement of the ingredients.
2. Arrange the cured meats (prosciutto, salami, capicola) by folding or rolling the slices for a neat and elegant appearance.
3. Slice the fresh mozzarella into round discs, and layer them beside the meats or in their own section of the platter.
4. Fan out the provolone cheese slices and place them in a separate section of the platter.
5. Rinse and dry the cherry tomatoes, then scatter them across the board or gather them into a small bowl on the platter.
6. Drain the marinated artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, and green olives. Place each ingredient into small bowls or group them directly on the platter.
7. Slice roasted red peppers into strips, and add them to the platter. If you have extra marinade from the jar, you can drizzle it lightly over the peppers for added flavor.
8. Slice the baguette or Italian bread into thin rounds. You can serve it fresh, toasted, or lightly brushed with olive oil and grilled.
9. Arrange the fresh basil leaves across the platter for garnish and an aromatic touch.
10. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze (if using) over select ingredients, such as the mozzarella or roasted red peppers, to enhance their flavors.
11. Serve immediately, encouraging guests to mix and match the ingredients to create their own perfect bites.
