The latest appetizer trend takes time, ingenuity and taste. The charcuterie chalet is the scoundrel version of the gingerbread house or the 3D version of the charcuterie board.

it is certain and certain: we will spend the holidays with our usual bubble. But what are we gonna be able to do all night? One idea: to build houses. Not on Minecraft nor in Lego, but a real house of crackers and cold cuts! New Years Eve is the perfect opportunity to test this trend, as these chalets made of meat, cheese and crackers are designed for four to six people.

Who could have had the crazy idea of making a chalet in charcuterie? This is Lauren and Alex Lester, an American couple who, under the name of “Cast Iron Keto», Which offers easy meals that respect the keto diet (as few carbs as possible) on a website, an Instagram account and many books. In terms of construction, this translates into a sesame cracker structure, salami roof, herb cheese cement, pepper sled and mushroom flowerpot.

Certainly, we are a thousand miles from an easy dish, but this chalet allows you to replace the house in gingerbread rich in sugar, and therefore to respect the keto diet. A rascal version that quickly established itself on social networks.

Next year, with a little experience, this chalet could well become a deli skyscraper!

Although the couple released this deli chalet last year, the trend doesn’t really seem to take off until this year. Under the hashtag #charcuteriechalet all kinds of constructions are being launched all over the world, the challenge not so much to imitate a typical charcuterie chalet as to be creative in finding a new variation – a gluten-free house, a ” mortadella mansion ”or even“ cottage cheese ”.

For those who would like to make it a family activity on Christmas Eve (indeed, babysitting remains excluded), here are some guidelines: make sure you have hard cheese, salami and a few breadsticks, because nothing is wrong with you. is more important than a solid shell! For the cement, it is also better to choose a firm herb cheese. A tip for the finishing touch: a sprig of rosemary makes a very similar Christmas tree for the cottage garden. With a little experience, the chalet could well turn, next year, into a “skyscraper in a charcuterie!”
