you're making mealtime meaningful.
If you’re on the hunt for a fun new appetizer then I have just the thing! These easy Olive Bread Skewers come together in minutes and never fail to wow party guests. There’s nothing better than handheld food when mingling! You only need a handful of ingredients to get started and they are super easy to tailor to your personal preferences. Black olives not your thing? Go all in on the green! You get to call the shots here.
If you’re using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning in the oven. I like to do this step first so it doesn’t hold me up later. Next, dice up a handful of olives into small pieces and lay out your thawed puff pastry sheets on a cutting board. Sprinkle half of the diced olives evenly over each sheet, then use a rolling pin to gently press the olives into the dough.
Now for the assembly! Slice the dough into strips about 1 inch thick, then skewer the end of a strip, followed by an olive. Fold the dough around the olive and skewer it again, repeating the process until you reach the end of the strip.
Pop the completed skewers in the oven for about 20 minutes or until they’re perfectly golden in color. Serve them warm alongside your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them just as they are. From dinner parties to backyard get-togethers, these easy Olive Bread Skewers are sure to be a crowd pleaser!
