Ingredients
  

Deli Meats
  • salami slices thin-cut
  • prosciutto slices thin-cut
  • deli ham slices thin-cut
Optional Add-ons
  • mini mozzarella balls
  • fresh rosemary or basil
  • grapes
  • crackers

Equipment

  • Toothpicks
  • Rolling Pin
  • Serving Board

Method
 

  1. Select your meat slices. Use thin-cut salami or prosciutto—they fold easily. Press thicker cuts flat if needed.
  2. Form the center of the rose by folding one slice lengthwise and rolling it tightly from one end to the other.
  3. Add petals by folding more slices lengthwise and wrapping them around the center, overlapping each slice.
  4. Secure the base with a toothpick if necessary to hold the petals together, especially if transporting.
  5. Place your finished meat flowers on a serving board and surround with cheeses, grapes, herbs, and crackers.

Notes

Use chilled meats for easier shaping. Thin slices work best for delicate petals. Mix different meats for a bouquet effect, and don’t overcrowd your board for the best visual impact.
