Ingredients
  

8 ounces of cooked ham, sliced into small squares

8 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese, cubed

1 cup of cherry tomatoes

1 cup of cucumber, diced into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup of Dijon mustard

1/4 cup of honey

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Wooden skewers (6-inch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Skewers: Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for about 15 minutes to prevent them from burning when cooking.

    Mix the Dip: In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to create a smooth dipping sauce and set aside.

      Assemble the Skewers: Take a skewer and slide on one piece of ham, followed by a cube of cheese, a cherry tomato, and a piece of cucumber. Repeat the process until the skewer is filled, usually about 3-4 sets. Ensure to create a fun pattern to make them visually appealing!

        Cook (optional): If you prefer warm skewers, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the skewers with olive oil and grill them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese is slightly melted.

          Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill (if cooked), and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle or serve with the prepared honey mustard dip and garnish with fresh parsley or basil leaves.

            Enjoy: These mini ham and cheese skewers can be served warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for parties, snacks, or quick meals.
