Description
Cuban Sandwich Appetizer Skewers. Fun to make and fun to eat! These cold appetizers on a stick with Swiss cheese, ham, Dijon mustard, salami, and baby dill pickles can be made in advance too. They are a crowd pleaser!
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 (4 inch) toothpicks
- 6 slices of deli ham
- 3 tablespoons spicy Dijon mustard
- 12 oz block of Swiss cheese
- 24 small slices of salami
- 24 baby dill pickles
Instructions
- Place the ham on a cutting board and cut each slice into 4 strips. Spread a little of the mustard on each strip. Roll each strip up and set aside.
- Cut the Swiss cheese into 3/4 inch cubes. Set aside.
- For each skewer, thread a Swiss cheese cube, a ham roll up, a slice of salami that has been folded in quarters, and a baby dill pickle. Continue making the appetizer skewers until all the ingredients are used.
- Place on a platter and serve. The skewers can be covered with plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Prep the ingredients ~ For easy skewering, have all the ingredients prepped in advance. Cut the Swiss cheese in about 3/4 inch cubes. Slice the ham into strips, spread with a little mustard, and roll up. Fold the salami slices into quarters.
- Use deli ham ~ A smoky tavern ham is my go-to for this recipe. Other options are honey glazed, Virginia ham, maple glazed, or pepper ham.
- Choose the skewers wisely ~ 4 inch toothpicks are ideal for Cuban Sandwich Appetizer Skewers. Anything shorter and the ingredients will fall off the stick.
