Easy Italian Antipasto Skewers for Parties
These antipasto skewers turn a charcuterie board into grab-and-go servings. Five ingredients, twenty minutes and no cooking makes six skewers for any party platter.
Equipment
- 6 wooden skewers, 12 inch
Ingredients
- 1 pound cheddar cheese, cut into large cubes
- 6 ounces salami, thinly sliced
- 6 ounces pepperoni, thinly sliced
- 6 Babybel cheese pieces
- 6 mini dill pickles
Instructions
- Cut the cheddar cheese into large bite sized cubes.
- Fold each slice of salami and pepperoni in half, then in half again.
- Slide one folded slice of pepperoni and one folded slice of salami onto a skewer.
- Slide one cube of cheddar cheese onto the skewer above the meat.
- Continue layering folded meat and cheese cubes along the middle of the skewer.
- Top the skewer with one Babybel cheese piece and one mini dill pickle.
- Repeat with the remaining five skewers.
- Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter or board.
Christina's Notes
- Fold the Meat Twice: Double folding creates ruffles that look professional and keep slices from sliding.
- Use Thin Sliced Meat: Thick slices crack when folded instead of ruffling.
- Cut Cheese Evenly: Uniform cubes make the whole platter look intentional.
- Assemble Ahead: These can be made the night before, covered and refrigerated.
- Serve Near Room Temperature: Take them out fifteen minutes early, since cold mutes cheese flavor.
