Newfoundland Traditional Appetizer (for real!)
Ingredients
- 1-pound cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 cup cocktail onions, drained
- 1 cup gherkins, drained and cut into ½-inch lengths
- 2 4.6-ounce cans Vienna sausages, drained and cut into ½-inch lengths
Instructions
- Once all of the ingredients are prepped, it's time to skewer the pieces onto a cocktail pick or a toothpick.
- Piercing the middle of each piece, skewer one of each onto the toothpicks, leaving the cube of cheese for last.
- Ensure that the toothpick sticks out at the one end, but does not stick out on the cheese end; this creates a handle for picking up the appetizer.
- Once all of the ingredients have been skewered, they can be eaten immediately.
- If you are making these ahead of time, cover the plate well with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated.
Notes
Christmas just isn’t Christmas in Newfoundland without these hors d’oeuvres. Sure, they look rather simplistic, and it’s easy to have a dislike for canned sausages, but these are so delicious.
