Perfect for a cocktail party or just hangin’ out in front of the TV. These little bites are a nice pre-dinner snack or if you eat enough of them, they will be dinner.
What’s great is that all these ingredients keep wonderfully in the fridge, meaning you have something available for the impromptu party that might start up at your house. The marriage of flavors work well and create their own fun flavors when eaten in one big bite.
I have to say, our fave was the pickle-cheddar-onion combo. It sounds so simple but was surprisingly delish.
Antipasto and Cheddar & Pickle Skewers
Adapted from Everyday Food
Antipasto Skewers
Giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetables)
Pimento stuffed green olives
Bocconcino (bite-size fresh mozzarella balls)
Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
Thread 1 piece giardiniera, one olive, one bocconcino and one small slice of prosciutto onto a skewer. Repeat many times.
Cheddar & Pickle Skewers
Midget sweet pickles (or cornichons if you like that better)
White cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
Cocktail onions
Thread one pickle, one cube of cheese and one cocktail onion onto a skewer. Repeat many times.
One requirement for this dish is cute skewers.
