Notes
- Prep the ingredients ~ For easy skewering, have all the ingredients prepped in advance. Cut the Swiss cheese in about ¾ 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.
