Sausage Head Charcuterie Platter
Ingredients
- foam mannequin head
- wooden picks (about 150)
- 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1/2 teaspoon cream cheese
- 10 cocktail peanut halves
- 4 (8-ounce) packages turkey or beef meat sticks, cut into thirds
- 1 pimiento-stuffed olive, cut in half, plus more for serving
- 2 roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips
- whole-grain crackers
- 1 mini cheese round, halved
- coarse-grained mustard
- assorted cheeses
Directions
- Put the foam head on a cake stand and hold it in place with tape, or set the bottom of the head inside a hollowed-out pumpkin ring to keep it steady.
- Use wooden picks to attach each piece of meat stick around the head, shaping them to look like a face. Tear the prosciutto into small pieces and use them to cover any white spots between the meat sticks.
- Use wooden picks to attach the cheese half-rounds to the foam head to look like eyeballs. Then, place an olive half on each cheese piece to look like the pupils.
- Spread cream cheese on the curved side of the peanut halves. Press them onto the mouth area of the head to look like teeth.
- Put roasted red pepper strips between the beef pieces on top of the head to look like veins.
- Place crackers, mustard, different cheeses, olives, and any other snacks you like around the sausage head. Enjoy!
