Cranberry Olive Cheese Skewers
Looking for last-minute appetizers? Try these cranberry olive cheese skewers. These easy party appetizers are ready in minutes and only need a few ingredients. They are perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 7 ounces cheddar cheese (200 grams, see note 1)
- 24 green olives (see note 2)
- ¼ cup dried cranberries (25 grams, see note 3)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (see note 4)
Instructions
- Cut the cheese into bite-size cubes and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, combine drained olives with olive oil and herbs. Mix well.
- To assemble the bites, first thread a dried cranberry halfway through the toothpick, then add olive and stick this into a cheese cube. If the olive and cranberry are way far up from the cheese, slide them down.
- Repeat until you have used up all the ingredients.
- Serve right away or chilled (about 30-60 minutes).
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I used white cheddar, but you can use red cheddar instead. Feta will also work. You will need to cut it to get 24 cubes.
- Use any olives you like - green or black. I recommend using stuffed olives.
- You might need less than a quarter cup of dried cranberries.
- You can use dried oregano, basil or thyme.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or halved.
