Recipe: Marissa Mullen’s Winter Holiday Antipasto Platter
Marissa Mullen, founder of That Cheese Plate, offers “Sunday Morning” viewers her tips for a great appetizer spread. In her forthcoming book “I’ll Bring the Apps: Bites, Bowls, Boards & Beverages” (to be published next March by Union Square & Co.), Mullen writes: “Appetizers are a simple reminder that the best moments often begin with small gestures, and they’re arguably the best part of any meal. “A great appetizer spread creates a memorable first impression. The dishes act as a warm welcome and an invitation to sit back, relax, and stay awhile.” Winter Holiday Antipasto Platter By Marissa Mullen Serves 6-8 Every year when the holidays roll around, I’m on cheese plate duty, obviously. While I’ve made plenty of wreath and tree-shaped boards over the years, nothing beats a simple antipasto spread loaded with Italian cheeses and marinated veggies. This one combines the sharpness of Pecorino Romano with smooth, fresh mozzarella. Marinated mushrooms and artichokes take you straight to an Italian deli, and the quick-pickled carrots add a nice, crunchy bite. Spicy soppressata, pepperoni, and olive tapenade bring in a salty richness. It’s a timeless classic. Build the board using my signature “Cheese By Numbers” method, in the following order: 1. Cheese 6 ounces Pecorino Romano, roughly cubed 6 ounces marinated ciliegine mozzarella balls 2. Meat 16 thin slices spicy soppressata 10 thin slices pepperoni 3. Produce ½ cup marinated mushrooms ¼ cup roasted red peppers 10 marinated artichoke hearts 10 pimiento-stuffed olives ¼ cup pickled carrots (homemade or store-bought) 4. Crunch 1 baguette, torn into pieces 5. Dip Olive tapenade (homemade or store-bought) 6. Garnish Fresh thyme leaves Fresh rosemary sprigs From “I’ll Bring the Apps: Bites, Bowls, Boards & Beverages” by Marissa Mullen. © 2026 by Marissa Mullen.
