Description
The Ultimate Holiday Grazing Wreath is a stunning centerpiece that encapsulates the spirit of festive gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 wheel brie, sliced into wedges
- 1 cup aged cheddar, cut into cubes
- 1 small goat cheese log, sliced
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
- 6 slices prosciutto, folded
- 10 slices salami, halved or quartered
- 1 cup red and green grapes
- 4 fresh figs, halved
- ½ cup cranberries or pomegranate arils
- ¼ cup whole almonds
- ¼ cup walnuts
- ⅓ cup mixed green and black olives
- 1½ cups assorted crackers and breadsticks
- 10–12 sprigs fresh rosemary (for the base)
Instructions
- Start by taking your fresh rosemary sprigs and arranging them in a circular pattern on your platter. This beautiful herb will serve as the leafy base of your wreath.
- Once your rosemary base is laid out, it’s time to layer in the cheeses. Place the brie wedges around the wreath, followed by cubes of aged cheddar and slices of goat cheese. Finally, sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles evenly throughout the arrangement.
- Next, tuck in the savory meats. Take the folded prosciutto and salami slices and gently place them between the cheese sections.
- After the meats, it’s time to add some natural sweetness with the notable fruits. Fill any gaps in your wreath with the fresh grapes, fig halves, and cranberries or pomegranate arils.
- To boost the textural contrast further, sprinkle in the nuts and olives. Position the whole almonds and walnuts strategically.
- Finally, it’s time to fill the remaining spaces with assorted crackers and breadsticks. Position them around the edge of the wreath so they are easily accessible for your guests.
