Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 block (8 ounces) Cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1 can (15 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained and patted dry
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut the cheddar cheese block into small, bite-sized cubes ensuring that each piece is uniform so it pairs well with the pineapple chunks.
- Assemble Hors d’oeuvres: Take a drained pineapple chunk and place it on top of a cube of cheddar cheese. Then, secure both pieces together by inserting a toothpick or party pick through them.
- Serve: Arrange the assembled pineapple and cheese bites on a serving platter and serve them at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly drain and pat dry the pineapple chunks to prevent sogginess.
- For added flair, consider sprinkling a little black pepper or chili powder for a subtle kick.
- Use sharp cheddar for a more pronounced flavor or mild cheddar if you prefer a creamier taste.
- These hors d’oeuvres can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated; just bring them to room temperature before serving.
