Ingredients
- 24 pieces salami slices
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 12 pieces buttery crackers (such as Ritz)
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Use a spatula to mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Lay out the salami slices on a clean work surface. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the seasoned cream cheese onto the center of each slice.
Step 3
Gently fold each salami slice in half to form a semi-circle, then fold again to create a triangle or 'cone' shape, with the cream cheese filling in the center.
Step 4
Place one folded salami cone onto a buttery cracker. Secure it to the cracker by inserting a toothpick through the center.
Step 5
Repeat with the remaining salami slices, cream cheese mixture, and crackers.
Step 6
Arrange the prepared Salami Firecrackers on a serving platter and serve immediately. If not serving right away, refrigerate up to 1 hour before serving.
