Ingredients
- 2 slices of watermelon, cut as thick as the cookie cutter
- 5 slices smoked provolone cheese
- 20 blueberries
- 10 decorated toothpicks
- 1 large star cookie cutter
- 1 small star cookie cutter
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Remove the rind from the sliced watermelon and place the slices on a cutting board.
- Cut Watermelon Stars: Using the large star cookie cutter, cut out star-shaped pieces from the watermelon slices. Approximately 5 stars can be cut from each slice.
- Cut Cheese Stars: Using the small star cookie cutter, cut out star shapes from the smoked provolone cheese slices. Approximately 2 stars per slice of cheese.
- Assemble Appetizers: Arrange the watermelon stars on a serving platter, then place the cheese stars on top of each watermelon star.
- Add Blueberries and Secure: Thread 2 blueberries onto each decorated toothpick and pierce through the center of each assembled watermelon and cheese star appetizer to secure all layers together.
- Chill Until Serving: Keep the assembled appetizers refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness and flavor.
- Enjoy: Serve chilled as a refreshing and festive summer appetizer perfect for 4th of July celebrations.
Notes
- The watermelon should be sliced thick enough to hold the shape when cut with cookie cutters.
- Use sharp cookie cutters for clean star shapes.
- Arrange on a platter just before serving to prevent the cheese from warming too much.
- Keep the appetizers refrigerated to maintain freshness and prevent the cheese from melting.
- Decorated toothpicks enhance the festive presentation and make serving easy.
