# What You'll Need:

# How to Prepare:

02 - Cut both cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes, keeping them similar in size for even threading.
03 - Thread each skewer with an alternating pattern of fruits and cheese cubes. Mix colors and vary the arrangement for maximum visual appeal.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The sweet salty combo keeps people coming back for just one more
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before guests arrive
  • They look impressive but take literally fifteen minutes from start to finish
02 -
  • Room temperature cheese tastes better but holds together better chilled—find your sweet spot about thirty minutes before serving
  • Apples brown fast unless you toss them in a little lemon juice first, though honestly I usually skip apples because the prep feels like too much
03 -
  • Buy slightly more cheese than you think you need—somehow cubes always disappear during prep
  • The prettiest skewers repeat a pattern instead of being random, even if it takes thirty extra seconds
