Recipe FAQ
- β What cheeses work best for these skewers?
Mild cheddar and gouda provide a creamy texture and mild flavor, but you can try Emmental or Monterey Jack for variations.
- β Can I use other fruits besides grapes?
Yes, green grapes add color contrast, and other small firm fruits like berries or cherry tomatoes can work well.
- β How should I prepare the skewers for serving?
Thread cheese cubes and grapes onto small wooden skewers, alternating them evenly, then arrange on a platter.
- β Is it possible to prepare these ahead of time?
You can assemble the skewers a few hours before serving and refrigerate them, but they taste best fresh.

Lightly drizzling honey over the skewers before serving adds a pleasant sweet-salty twist that complements the ingredients.
