Tips

  • Ensure your feta is firm and not too crumbly for best results on skewers. If it's very soft, you can wrap it in parchment paper for a few minutes in the freezer to firm it up before cutting.
  • Serve these skewers warm, or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own or as part of a larger mezze platter.
