Holiday Appetizers
With Thanksgiving only 2 weeks away,
and Christmas right after that,
the holiday season is about to begin!
Don’t get your “tinsel in a tangle,”
start thinking about what you want to serve now
Here are 10 appetizers that are perfect
for Thanksgiving and holiday gatherings!
Pumpkin Butternut Squash Holiday Queso Dip
will keep appetites at bay while waiting for the turkey to cook
Butternut squash is roasted,
then pureed and mixed with pumpkin and sharp white cheddar,
baked and garnished with bacon and green onions
Parmesan Pumpkin & Bacon Spirals can be served as appetizer
or a side dish instead of bread or rolls
Butter boards make a great presentation,
you can make small individual ones or one large butter board
Pumpkin Pecan Butter Boards are made with pumpkin puree,
maple pecan butter, cream cheese, pistachio nuts,
cranberries and bacon
Orange Glazed Bacon Wrapped Stuffing Balls are hard to resist
and a great way to use up leftover Thanksgiving stuffing
Stuffing is rolled into small balls,
wrapped with bacon and brushed with an orange marmalade glaze
Cranberry Swiss Almond Holiday Spread
is perfect for the upcoming holidays,
a yummy pre-Thanksgiving nibble
or a colorful red and green Christmas party dip
Pesto Pastry Squares with Asparagus and Tomatoes
are the colors of Christmas
Cheesy Cranberry, Bacon & Pistachio Tarts
are made with crescent roll dough and filled with
apricot jam, dried cranberries and Vermont white cheddar,
pistachio nuts and bacon
This sweet and savory combination baked in a fluffy dough
will have people coming back for more!
Cheesy Asparagus & Prosciutto Pastries
is easy to prepare and can be used as an appetizer,
a brunch dish, a side with soup, salad, or entree
Cranberry Shortbread is a buttery shortbread cookie
that’s flavor packed with cranberries and pistachio nuts
Perfect for holiday nibbling
or a gift from your kitchen
A Festive Appetizer Wreath is a charcuterie board
with no cooking required
and it makes a great decoration for your table or buffet too
Party time!
