Instructions
 

  • On a large charcuterie board or serving platter, artfully arrange the thinly sliced spicy salami, Spanish chorizo, and pepperoni. Then, scatter the 1/2-inch cubes of pepper jack cheese and sharp cheddar cheese across the board.
  • Place the spicy pita crackers and pretzel crisps in fan-like arrangements or small piles around the edges of the board, ensuring they are easily accessible for dipping and scooping.
  • Spoon the softened 4 ounces of cream cheese into a small serving bowl. Pour the 1/4 cup of chili crisp, 1/4 cup of hot honey, and 1/4 cup of jalapeño jelly or spicy fig jam into separate small serving bowls. Place these bowls strategically on the board.
  • Distribute the thinly sliced jalapeño peppers, drained pickled banana peppers, and drained pitted green olives among the meats and cheeses, adding pops of vibrant color and contrasting flavors.
  • Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of chili-roasted peanuts into any empty spaces or small bowls on the board. Finish by tucking fresh cilantro sprigs and lime wedges around the board for a vibrant, aromatic touch and a squeeze of fresh acidity.
  • Present the Spicy Chili Charcuterie Board to your guests and enjoy the array of bold, spicy, and savory flavors.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy scooping. Feel free to adjust the level of spice with milder or hotter ingredients.
