christmas tree pizzas

Just when you thought pizza couldn’t get any better, we made it look like cute little Christmas trees! For an easy one to make with the kids, grab some premade pizza crust, cut it into tree shapes with a cookie cutter, and top with pizza sauce, mozzarella, Chorizo Medallions, and broccoli florets. You can also get creative with your za, starting with premade broccoli pizza crust and pizza sauce, then topping it off with gruyere, applewood smoked ham and roasted tomatoes.

Get cookin'!

puff pastry bundles

We like to think of these bites as tiny edible gifts. There are two versions to choose from, both with tasty meats and cheeses from our Originals line with No Antibiotics Ever: Roasted Chicken Breast, mozzarella and Herb Roasted Turkey Breast with Peppadew Cheddar. Both are lovingly wrapped in puff pastry and baked to perfection

Bake 'em up!

Step aside, ice cream. There’s a new cone in town. These fun snacks make the charcuterie perfectly portable and keeps one hand free for other festivities like decorating the tree or games with the fam. Roll up some sliced genoa salami, slice up some brie, grab some fresh fruit and be on your way!
