Instructions

Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to form the base of the chalet. Shape the dough to create the house structure by folding and trimming as needed.
Mix the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded Parmesan, and shredded sharp white cheddar until smooth and well mixed.
Assemble the Chalet: Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the shaped dough base. Layer the thin slices of Italian dry salami evenly on top of the cheese spread.
Form the Chalet: Use remaining dough portions to construct roof and walls on the main dough base forming a chalet shape. Press edges to seal and ensure structure before baking.
Bake the Chalet: Place the assembled charcuterie house on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Garnish and Finish: Once baked and slightly cooled, sprinkle the Asian sesame ginger salad topping over the chalet for crunch and flavor. Insert rosemary sprigs for decoration to mimic a festive holiday chalet environment. Serve with Wheat Thin crackers on the side.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese to make mixing smoother.
For best results, slice salami thinly to layer evenly.
If pizza dough is frozen, allow to thaw completely before shaping.
Serve warm or at room temperature for optimal flavor experience.
Rosemary sprigs not for eating, used for decorative purpose only.
