5 Minute Antipasto Skewers
Now that the holiday season is here, it seems like life is busier than ever! Between holiday parties, school events, neighborhood get-togethers, and family holiday traditions, this time of year has so much fun packed into it. And every celebration needs some delicious food, right? As much as I love to cook, sometimes I just really don’t have the time or energy to come up with an elaborate appetizer.
That’s where these antipasto skewers come in! I started with some delicious pre-made appetizers from the freezer section, combined them with a few fresh ingredients, assembled them on skewers, and added some festive ribbon to finish things off. They’re fun to look at, even more fun to eat, and only take a few minutes to assemble!

These savory manchego mini skewers have such a delicious combination of flavors, with creamy manchego cheese and serrano ham in contrast with the salty green olives. I made them using the following ingredients:

Using extra long toothpicks for these mini skewers makes them the perfect size for a savory bite!
Loaded Franks in a Blanket
These loaded franks in a blanket are like a fun twist on a loaded hot dog in a bun! I made them with the following ingredients:
- Cheese Franks in a Blanket

Just cut the cheese into festive shapes using a mini cookie cutter, then thread one frank in a blanket onto the skewer, followed by cherry tomatoes, pickles and the cheese shape. Finish it off with a festive ribbon, and you are all set!
These savory and delicious antipasto skewers are the perfect appetizers for your next holiday party! They take only a few minutes to assemble, but feature a delicious combination of flavors. They are the perfect way to wow your party guests without spending all day in the kitchen!
