The Best Charcuterie Skewers

By Sam Pierce

Ingredients (~18 skewers)

  • 6 oz havarti cheese
  • 3 oz sharp cheddar cheese
  • 9 mini brie cheeses
  • 9 slices peppered salami
  • 5 slices prosciutto
  • 9 pitted Castelvetrano olives
  • 9 cheese-stuffed cherry peppers
  • 9 dried apricots
  • 9 red grapes
  • 9 raspberries

Prep the Meats and Cheeses

Cut the havarti and cheddar into 1-inch cubes – you’ll need about 9 cubes of each.

Fold each salami slice into quarters so they’ll stay on the skewer better.

Roll up each prosciutto slice, then cut each roll in half; this gives you ~10 small rolled pieces.

Assemble the Savory Skewers

On 9 skewers, thread in this order: havarti cube, Castelvetrano olive, folded salami, cheddar cube, stuffed pepper, and prosciutto roll.

The stuffed peppers can be a bit slippery, so pierce them through the thickest part.

Assemble the Sweet Skewers

On the remaining 9 skewers, thread: havarti cube, dried apricot, grape, mini brie, and raspberry.

The raspberries are delicate, so add them last and handle gently.

Serve at Room Temperature

Let the skewers sit out for ~30 minutes before serving so the cheeses soften up.

The flavors are way better when everything isn’t cold from the fridge.
