Ingredients:
- 150 g Gouda (medium-aged or aged; feel free to substitute with your favorite cheese)
- 200 g red grapes
- 12 cocktail sticks (preferably with tinsel ends)
Directions:
1. Prepare the cheese: Cut the Gouda into 1–1.5 cm cubes. Halve a few cubes diagonally to create triangular pieces for the rocket tips.
2. Wash the grapes: Rinse the red grapes thoroughly and pat them dry.
3. Assemble the skewers: Alternate cheese cubes and grapes on the cocktail sticks. Finish with a triangular cheese piece at the top for the rocket tip.
Tip: The number of skewers may vary depending on the size of the cheese cubes.
Some Recipe Tips:
Storage | Prep: If preparing the skewers ahead of time, store them in the fridge to maintain their freshness. Be sure to dry the grapes thoroughly to prevent them from becoming watery.
Adjusting the cheese: You can substitute Gouda with other cheese varieties like Edam, cheddar, or a tangy goat cheese to suit your taste. Choose a flavorful cheese that pairs well with the sweet grapes.
Grape selection: Red grapes are a great choice for their sweetness and juiciness, but you can also experiment with green grapes or even small berries to create different flavor combinations.
