# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • These come together in literally 15 minutes, meaning you can focus on your outfit instead of stressing over appetizers
  • The combination of cold fruit and creamy cheese feels surprisingly fancy despite being incredibly simple to assemble
02 -
  • Dry your fruit completely before threading or the cheese cubes will get slippery and slide around
  • Room temperature cheese cuts more cleanly than cold cheese, so let it sit out for 15 minutes first
03 -
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes if you plan to grill these at all, though they are perfect as-is
  • Plant-based cheese cubes work wonderfully here for vegan guests, just choose varieties that hold their shape when cut
