What types of cheese work best?

Mild cheddar and gouda provide a creamy texture and balanced flavor, but you can try Emmental or Monterey Jack for variety.

Can I use green grapes instead?

Yes, green grapes add a fresh color contrast while maintaining sweetness and juiciness.

No cooking is required; just assemble and serve immediately or chill before serving.

Fresh mint leaves add aroma and a pop of color; a light drizzle of honey provides a sweet-salty twist.

They can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated but are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
