Print Recipe

A quick and festive grazing board featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, and white cheese cubes threaded onto skewers, perfect for summer gatherings and holidays.

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry
  • White cheese cubes (mild cheddar, mozzarella, or firm cottage cheese)
  • Red grapes, halved and seedless (optional)
  • Honey or agave drizzle (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Wooden skewers, 6-inch or 8-inch length

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all the fruit thoroughly to avoid sogginess (about 5 minutes).
  2. Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops and slice each berry in half lengthwise. Halve the grapes if using (10 minutes).
  3. Cut the cheese into small, roughly 1/2-inch cubes using a sharp knife (5 minutes).
  4. Thread the fruit and cheese alternately onto the wooden skewers, starting with a strawberry half, then a cube of cheese, followed by two blueberries, then a grape half, and repeat. Leave about 1 inch of skewer at the bottom for handling (10-15 minutes).
  5. Arrange the finished skewers evenly across your serving board, tucking in extra loose berries or a few mint leaves for color and freshness (5 minutes).
  6. Optionally, lightly drizzle honey or agave over the assembled board for a touch of sweetness. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for up to an hour before serving (2 minutes).

Notes

Soak wooden skewers briefly in water if you plan to grill to prevent burning. Assemble skewers a few hours ahead but add honey drizzle just before serving to avoid sogginess. Use firm, ripe fruit for best texture. Chill the board before serving to keep cheese firm and fruit refreshing.
