Tudor Rose Salami Cheese (Printable Version)

Symmetrical salami petals surround a yellow cheese center for an elegant appetizer presentation.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 5 slices salami (approximately 2.5–3 inches diameter each)

→ Cheese

02 - 1 small round slice yellow cheese (e.g., Gouda or Cheddar; about 1.2–1.6 inches diameter, 0.2 inches thick)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - On a serving plate, position the five salami slices in a circle with slight overlap to create a symmetrical floral pattern.

02 - Set the round slice of yellow cheese in the center of the salami circle, covering overlapping edges to form the rose’s button.

03 - Carefully adjust the salami petals to maintain symmetry and enhance visual appeal.

04 - Serve immediately as an elegant appetizer or part of a charcuterie assortment.

# Additional Tips::

01 -

It looks fancy enough to impress but takes less time than scrolling through your phone.
No heat, no mess, no stress—perfect when you're already managing five other dishes.
People genuinely ask for the recipe, which never gets old.

02 -

Cold cheese is brittle—if your slice breaks when you pick it up, leave it at room temperature for five minutes first and it'll hold together.
The angle of your salami petals changes everything; slightly curved tips look more flower-like than perfectly flat edges.

03 -

If your cheese won't hold a clean round shape, use a cookie cutter or the rim of a small glass to stamp it before you build the flower.
Serve these alongside good crackers and crusty bread—they're stunning alone but even better as part of a complete board.
