Party Appetizer : Puff Pastry Cheese Skewers

These puff pastry cheese skewers are fantastic party appetizers. Get the recipe here and serve them at your next gathering.

Last week I shared these cute Halloween puff pastry “ghosts” that I made as part of the Pepperidge Farm puff pastry recipe challenge. For that challenge I put my own spin on the original recipe they provided, which I’m sharing today. These Parmesan Puff Pastry cheese skewers are easy to make but look impressive as they’re displayed upright in a vase, or laying in rows on a dish. The skewers make for easy handling and keeps hands clean too!

Try making these for cocktail parties or holiday parties, serve them alongside soup, chili, or salad, or serve them for breakfast or brunch. They really are an all-purpose menu item!

Puff Pastry Cheese Skewers

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 sheet frozen Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry, thawed

1 Tbsp dried Italian herbs seasoning blend

18 wooden skewers (8-inch)

Heat the oven to 400°F.

Sprinkle a work surface with 2 tablespoons cheese. Unfold the pastry sheet on another the work surface. Brush the pastry sheet with water. Place the pastry sheet, wet-side down, onto the cheese. Brush the pastry sheet with water. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and herb seasoning. Press the cheese mixture lightly into the surface of the pastry with a rolling pin.

Cut the pastry sheet crosswise into 18 (1/2-inch) strips. Thread the pastry strips accordion-style on the skewers. Place the skewers onto 2 baking sheets.

Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Let the pastries cool on wire racks for 2 minutes.

Display the skewers laying on a platter, or insert them into a vase filled with pebbles, or dried beans.
