Step 1: Prepare the Cheese
Start by cutting your block of cheese into bite-sized cubes. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even marination and a polished presentation.
Step 2: Make the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried herbs, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. This marinade is the heart of the dish, so don’t skimp on the flavors!
Step 3: Marinate the Cheese
Place the cheese cubes in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the cheese, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. The longer the cheese marinates, the more flavorful it becomes.
Step 4: Assemble the Appetizer
Once the cheese has marinated, it’s time to build your appetizer:
- Take a toothpick or skewer and thread a cube of marinated cheese.
- Add a folded slice of salami and a small pickle to the skewer.
- Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Arrange the skewers on a platter and garnish with fresh parsley or dill. Serve immediately, or keep chilled until ready to serve.
Tips for Success
- Choose the Right Cheese
Firm cheeses work best for this recipe as they hold their shape during marination and assembly. Avoid soft cheeses like Brie or goat cheese, as they may become too soft. - Customize the Marinade
Feel free to experiment with flavors. Add a splash of lemon juice for brightness, honey for sweetness, or a dash of smoked paprika for depth. - Use Quality Ingredients
With a simple recipe like this, the quality of your ingredients truly shines. Opt for premium cheese, fresh herbs, and flavorful olive oil. - Make It Ahead
Prepare the marinated cheese up to 24 hours in advance. Assemble the skewers on the day of your event to keep everything fresh.
