These were AMAZING! I did have problems with the cheese, however. I honestly think if I had used different skewers (I had the 6-inch wood ones, that my feta wouldn't have crumbled. I had used the Athenos Feta that was packed in water, like others had suggested, AND I even put it in the freezer to harden it up a smidge. Even with all that, it still fell apart. Like I said, I'm gonna try the different skewers next time, but all in all, this recipe ROCKED! And it was a definite crowd pleaser to say the least! ;-

A very simple and elegant looking appetizer. I followed others' suggestions and used feta packed in water, and did not have any issues with crumbling cheese.

These were fun to make, tasty and get a definite A+ for eye appeal! I made them for a Fathers' Day barbeque and as soon as they were brought to the table they were immediately eaten by all with many oohs and aahs over how beautiful and colorful they were. All agreed they tasted as good as they looked. I did add stuffed grape leaves to the skewers, cut into 3 sections do they would fit nicely, and also red peppers.
