Toothpick Appetizer Ideas

Skewered Appetizers:

Appetizers are something you serve before a main course or during a cocktail hour. When I think of an appetizer I think something that is easy for the host to make and something that is easy for the guest to eat. Skewers are the best way to keep people happy by making it easier for them to have their drink in one hand and something to munch on in the other without worrying about having to wipe their hand with their napkin right away.

Here are some different combinations of small skewers for a pretty presentation.

Toothpick Appetizers :

Cocktail/Dinner Party:
1)
1 Cherry tomato
1 Fresh mozzarella ball
1 Fresh basil leave, bended

2)
1 kalamata olive
1 thin piece of prosciutto, bended
1 cube of feta cheese

3)
1 herb roasted potato cube
2 pieces of cooked teriyaki beef cube, one for each end
or
1 piece of cooked teriyaki chicken cube
2 pineapple cubes, one for each end

Brunch/Baby Shower/Wedding Shower:

4)
1 small strawberry
1 pineapple cube
1 grape

5)
1 melon cube
1 cantaloupe cube
1 grape

6)
1 chocolate covered strawberry
1 white chocolate covered strawberry
2 small marshmallows, one at each end

7)
1 banana cube
1 melon cube
1 nectarine cube

There are so many different combinations that would go nicely together. Just make sure everything on the toothpicks are roughly the same size. If you are having a large party make sure you make at least three toothpick skewers per person.
