Irish Flag Appetizer Skewers
These Irish flag appetizer skewers are simple, tasty, and perfect for parties, holidays or casual gatherings. A fun way to add an Irish-themed touch!
Ingredients
- 24 pickled pearl onions (80 grams)
- 24 green olives (90 grams, see note 1)
- 6 ounce block orange cheddar (170 grams, see note 2)
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients: Pat dry the pearl onions and olives. Cut the cheese into about ½-inch (1.5-centimeter) cubes.
- Assemble the skewers by threading the olive, pearl onion and finally the cheese cube onto a skewer.
- Serve on a plate, cutting board or part of a charcuterie board.
Notes
- You can use plain green olives or add an extra flavor using stuffed olives. Mini pickles are a great substitution.
- Cheddar can be substituted with other orange colored cheese that does not crumble. Try Colby Jack or smoked Gouda.
- It is possible to make them a day in advance, but you must drain and pat dry the wet ingredients well. Otherwise, they can turn the cheese cubes soggy. Or, you can also prep all of them ahead, keep in separate containers and assemble on the day of serving. Assembling 24 pieces takes about 10 minutes.
