Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Deli turkey or ham
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, cubed
- 12 whole Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber, sliced
- 4 slices Bread, cubed
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise or mustard, optional
- 12 sticks Bamboo skewers or sturdy toothpicks
Instructions
Cut your sandwich bread into small, bite-sized cubes. Make sure they are firm enough to hold their shape when skewered.
If desired, lightly spread mayonnaise or mustard onto one side of the bread cubes for added flavor.
Slice the cucumber into thick rounds, then cut each round into quarters to create bite-size pieces.
Thread ingredients onto the skewers, alternating between bread cubes, deli meat (folded), cheese cubes, cucumber pieces, and cherry tomatoes. Repeat the pattern until the skewer is full, leaving a little space at the bottom for handling.
Repeat the process with the remaining skewers until all the ingredients are used up.
Serve immediately or pack in a lunchbox for later. If packing, wrap the skewers in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
