You can even put your own spin on them, if you’d like. We have a few recipe variations you might want to try, but first, let’s get to the simple how-to.
How to Make These “Flower” Pepperoni, Basil, and Mozzarella Skewers
All you need to make these lovely flower skewers is some basil, pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella balls. And, of course some skewers!
Start by arranging four or five pieces of pepperoni in a row, as you see in the photo above. You want them to overlap.
Next, fold them in half from bottom to top, creating a flat “bottom.” Then beginning on one end, carefully roll the pepperoni to create a “flower,” as you see in the photo.
Finally, place the mozzarella balls, basil leaves, and the pepperoni flowers onto the skewers. The order is: mozzarella ball, basil leaf, pepperoni flower, basil leaf, and mozzarella ball.
Just like our Tulip Tomatoes, these delectable little hors d’oeuvres will be the talk of the party!
Pepperoni, Basil, and Mozzarella Skewers Recipe Variations
If you want to switch things up a bit, here are some ingredient additions and swaps to try:
- Add cherry or grape tomatoes to your skewers for a fresh burst of flavor.
- Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- Try prosciutto instead of pepperoni.
- Sprinkle with a little sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Serve with a side of pesto.
