salami stackers

Every time I have a party, I have a cheese board.  It just goes with out saying.

What also goes without saying is that I always buy some good stilton cheese, manchego and that delicious fig jam they sell right next to all the cheese.  Every. Single. Time.

So do you know what I have a lot of?  Those jars of fig jam.  and the stilton.  and occasionally some manchego.  Because no one ever seems to eat my cheese board.

hmmm…maybe I should rethink this?

So last night, I was headed to a happy hour where the host is gluten free.  I’m not terribly proficient in gluten free, but I’ve been trying new things and testing new ideas.

Here’s an idea…a cheese board with no crackers.

Who needs a cracker when you have salami?  The cracker of my dreams.

what you need:

1 salami, sliced into think rounds

1/2 cup fig jam (or any other “fancy” jam you have)

4 oz blue cheese

what to do:

take each slice of salami, spead a bit of jam on top, and then put a small piece of blue cheese on top.  Could that be an easier??

serve and enjoy!
