Serving Suggestions

To elevate your Savory CharCUTErie Cones, consider pairing them with a selection of dips. Mustard and honey are classic choices that add a sweet and tangy flavor, complementing the richness of the meats and cheeses. Other options could include a creamy garlic dip or a zesty salsa, depending on your flavor preferences.

For a more substantial meal, serve the cones alongside a fresh garden salad or a hearty soup. This combination not only rounds out the meal but also provides a variety of textures and flavors, appealing to every palate.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftover ingredients after assembling your Savory CharCUTErie Cones, it's essential to store them properly to maintain freshness. Wrap any remaining cured meats and cheeses tightly in plastic wrap or store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. They can typically last for several days, allowing you to enjoy them in other meals or snacks.

For the best flavor, consume any prepared cones on the same day they are made, as the ingredients can become soggy over time. However, if you do have leftover cones, you can separate the ingredients and store them to create fresh cones later.

Experiment with New Flavors

Don't hesitate to experiment with different flavor combinations in your Savory CharCUTErie Cones. Try incorporating international ingredients, such as Spanish chorizo, Italian capicola, or French camembert, for a worldly touch. Each culture offers unique cured meats and cheeses that can bring exciting new flavors to your cones.

Additionally, consider adding unexpected elements like pickled vegetables, roasted red peppers, or even fresh fruits such as figs or apples. These ingredients can provide a delightful contrast to the savory notes of the meats and cheeses, creating a well-rounded and satisfying snack.
