Ingredients

2 –3 types of cheese 2–3 oz each
4 –8 slices of pepperoni
4 –8 cornichons
4 –8 pickled or roasted peppers
8 olives
4 –8 cherry tomatoes

Instructions

Cut the cheese into even ½-inch cubes or small triangles. Choose a variety of cheeses—firm, soft, mild, or sharp—to create contrast in flavor and texture.
Using whatever small skewers, cocktail picks, or toothpicks you have on hand, assemble a mix of mini skewers. For the first type, thread a combination of cheese cubes, olives, pepperoni (folded if large), and cherry tomatoes. Arrange them in different sequences to keep it visually interesting.
For the second type of skewer, create a different mix: try threading a pepper strip, a cube of cheese, a cornichon, and an olive. Keep the combinations playful and colorful.
Arrange both types of skewers on a plate or serving board. Serve immediately for a fresh, tasty appetizer or snack. These are perfect for entertaining or a quick no-cook treat.
