Delicious Fruit And Cheese Kabobs (Printable version)
Refreshing skewers with vibrant fruits and creamy cheeses, ready in 15 minutes for any gathering.
# What you need:
→ Fruits
01 - 1 cup seedless green grapes
02 - 1 cup seedless red grapes
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
04 - 1 cup pineapple chunks
→ Cheese
05 - 8 oz cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
06 - 8 oz Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
→ Garnish
07 - 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves
→ Extras
08 - 12 wooden skewers
# How To:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and halve them if large. Ensure grapes are stemmed and pineapple is cut into bite-sized chunks.
02 - Cut both cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes, keeping sizes consistent for even skewering.
03 - Thread each skewer with alternating fruits and cheese cubes, mixing colors and textures for visual appeal. Leave enough space at each end for easy handling.
04 - Arrange finished kabops on a serving platter. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top for added color and aroma if desired.
05 - Serve chilled or at room temperature. For optimal freshness and texture, enjoy within 2 hours of assembly.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get all the credit for an impressive appetizer while barely breaking a sweat
- The sweet and creamy combination works with practically any fruit or cheese you have on hand
02 -
- Uniform cheese cubes are not just aesthetic—they prevent the skewer from tilting and making a mess on your nice serving platter
- Dry your fruit completely after washing because water on the skewers makes the cheese lose its perfect texture way too fast
03 -
- Thread the skewers about an hour before serving but keep them refrigerated—the flavors meld beautifully while the cheese stays perfectly firm
- If you are making these for a crowd, set up a little assembly line station because the rhythm of threading becomes weirdly meditative
