From pancake cereal to hot chocolate bombs, this year has given us some truly amazing food trends, and none of them is wilder than charcuterie chalets. They are the savory answer to gingerbread houses and mostly consist of the ingredients you would use to build a charcuterie board.
No charcuterie board would be complete without cured meats and cheese, but they’re not the only snacks you’ll need to build a charcuterie chalet. They require firmer, more solid ingredients to stand tall, and that’s where crackers and pretzel rods come into play.
This is the proven formula that most people use to keep their charcuterie chalets from falling apart, but there are also several other similarities we noticed. Cured meats, such as prosciutto and pepperoni, are usually used to decorate the roof because their color fits it perfectly.
When it comes to the rest of the ingredients, tiny details are entirely up to you. Each recipe for charcuterie chalets is completely different, and you should get as creative as you want when coming up with yours, by using the snacks you like the most and figuring out how well they fit together.
