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.

β†’ Any tips to enhance flavor?

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