I recently made my Anitpasto Board Table Runner and hosted a wine and tapas party. It was so much fun. The board display was beautiful and my guests loved it.
I ran the Antipasto Board Table Runner down the center of my table as my friends sat around it. The food and wine were at their finger tips. The night was filled with good friends, good food, good wine, and heartbelly laughter. It is the perfect way to entertain.
Cuban Sandwich on a Stick Appetizer
I created these cute little Cuban Sandwich On A Stick as one of my little tapas for the Antipasto Board. They are easy to pick up and adorable to look at. Best of all they are low carb…. which means more bites for you if you are watching your carb count.

They take just minutes to make. They are perfect for a tapas party, tailgating, or a snack. I found the little mini pickles (Cornichons) at Harris Teeter, but if you are having trouble finding them, you can order them here.

These were a hit at a recent birthday party. I spread the mustard on a 1/4″ thick slice of pork, layered a thin slice of ham and cut that into cubes, I then assembled with dill pickle slices, cubed swiss and lastly the meat on the bottom of my toothpicks. So yummy!

No, but I am sure it would be delicious with pork.

Curious if you tried the pork also with these so that you have a true Cuban appetizer? These look very good, only thing is I would add the pork slices unless you figured out it would be overboard for the keto way of eating, then I won’t even consider it.
Katie says
That was an error on my part. I am correcting it. Sorry! I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote 4 slices. Thanks.

This recipe looks good, but I’m confused. If you cut four slices of ham into 4 strips each, doesn’t that add up to a total of 16 ham portions when the recipe makes 24? By my math, that would leave 8 “sandwiches” with no ham. Am I missing something?
