Ingredients for Charcuterie wreaths
This appetizer requires minimal ingredients and ones you might already have on hand in the fridge! Serve them on a big charcuterie board and add little red bows to really make them look holiday ready. Here’s a list of ingredients that I used to make mine:
Crescent rolls
Egg
Salami
Cheddar
Pepper Jack
Grapes
Blackberries
Rosemary
I braided my strips of crescent roll dough and while this isn’t necessary to make the wreath it does look really pretty! Feel free to just use a strip to make the wreath if you’d prefer- just cut your dough strips a bit wider if you are going this route.
TIP: make sure you use egg wash on the outside of your wreaths before putting them in the oven. This will make them extra crispy and flaky.
