Ingredient Substitutions
Missing something or wanna switch it up? These skewers are super forgiving. Here’s how to make it work without losing the vibe:
- No pickled peaches: Use fresh peaches, nectarines or even pickled cherries if you’re spicy
- No prosciutto: Sub in jamón, salami or even thin turkey slices (we won’t judge)
- No mozzarella balls: Cut fresh mozzarella into chunks or use burrata if you’re feeling luxurious
- Vegan swap: Try marinated tofu cubes and vegan deli slices with fruit
- No balsamic glaze: A drizzle of honey or hot honey brings a fun twist
These aren’t rules. They’re suggestions for chaos. Customize and snack on.
Storage Tips
These skewers are the definition of low effort. No stress. Just chill and serve.
- Make ahead: Assemble up to 4 hours before the party. Wrap tight and pop them in the fridge
- Serve cold: That contrast of cold peach, salty prosciutto and creamy cheese? Chef’s kiss
- Leftovers: Eat within a day before the cheese gets weird and the basil gives up
They’re quick, they’re easy and they stay cute in the fridge till it’s showtime.
Serving Suggestions
These skewers don’t need a lot, they’re already the main event.
- Platter it up: Serve on a rustic board with extra basil and maybe a few edible flowers if you’re feeling bold
- Balsamic drizzle: Optional, but highly dramatic (in the best way)
- Add-ons: Toss some nuts or olives on the platter to round things out
- Pair with: Sparkling wine, rosé or literally anything bubbly and flirty
- Perfect moment: Date night, Galentine’s, or just when you’re feeling snacky and cute
These are the kind of apps that get eaten first and talked about later. Serve cold. Serve confident.
