Ingredients
Scale
- 30 grams (about 1 ounce) spicy pepperoni slices, thinly sliced
- 60 grams (2 ounces) sharp cheddar or mozzarella cheese, sliced or cubed
- 12–15 sturdy crackers (multigrain or water crackers recommended)
- 10 olives (Kalamata or green), pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons roasted red peppers, jarred, drained, and chopped
- Fresh basil or oregano leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons hummus or spicy mustard for spreading
- 4–5 cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Slice 30 grams (about 1 ounce) of spicy pepperoni into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut 60 grams (2 ounces) of cheese into cubes or thin slices.
- Halve 4-5 cherry tomatoes, drain and chop 2 tablespoons of roasted red peppers, and slice 10 olives.
- Lay out 12-15 sturdy crackers on your serving tray or plate, spaced for easy picking.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of hummus or spicy mustard into small ramekins or dollop lightly on a few crackers for variety.
- On each cracker, layer a slice of cheese, a piece of spicy pepperoni, and finish with a slice of olive or a small piece of roasted red pepper. Alternate toppings for visual appeal and flavor balance.
- Scatter fresh basil or oregano leaves over the tray for a pop of color and fresh aroma. Toss the cherry tomato halves around the edges.
- Optionally, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes lightly on top or drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil for richness.
Notes
Toast crackers lightly for 2-3 minutes if they feel soft or stale to keep them crisp. Assemble just before serving to maintain texture. For a warm snack, assemble on mini pita rounds and broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and pepperoni crisps. Vegan and gluten-free substitutions are possible.
