Ultimate Antipasto Platter
An antipasto platter is ideal for entertaining! Pile a board with Italian antipasti like cheeses, cured meats, olives, marinated vegetables, and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe Marinated Mozzarella Balls (or purchased)
- 1 cup Marinated Mushrooms (or purchased)
- 1 cup mixed olives
- 2 blocks aged cheese
- 1 cup jarred marinated artichoke hearts or roasted peppers (or other marinated items from a grocery olive bar or deli counter)
- 2 types cured meats (prosciutto, salami, chorizo, sopressata, bresaola, etc)
- 1 handful cherry tomatoes
- 2 handfuls crackers
- 1 handful Italian breadsticks
- Optional other items: focaccia bread slices, roasted nuts, jarred pepperoncini, etc
Instructions
- If using homemade, make the Marinated Mozzarella Balls and/or Marinated Mushrooms.
- Prepare the other ingredients as necessary: cut the cheese or meats, and place the olives and nuts in small bowls.
- Place the ingredients onto a large board. Place the bowls of items first, then fill in with cheese slices, meats, marinated veggies, crackers and breadsticks. Once the board is mostly complete, tuck in a few sprigs of fresh herbs to complete the tray (like rosemary or thyme sprigs).
- Serve immediately, with small plates, forks and toothpicks if desired. The antipasto platter can sit out for up to 2 hours at room temperature. Make the board up to 24 hours in advance, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate: allow to come to room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
