Crescent Wreath
Every Christmas I try tho think of cute and fun appetizers to serve on Christmas day. Along with a little cheese ball snowman, I like to make this pretty wreath. I love it because it looks impressive, bu t is made in only a matter of minutes with the help of Pillsbury Crescent Dough.
This little wreath is made simply with cream cheese and a few fresh veggies baked in crescent dough. I used a mixture of fresh broccoli, chopped spinach and roasted red peppers in this wreath. If you want to add more flavor, add a few tablespoons each of chopped crumbled bacon and/or green onions.
For a quick and easy garnish, I took a few ripe tomatoes from my windowsill along with some rosemary from the herb garden.
