Easy Holiday Appetizer: Crostini Perfection
With the holiday season in full swing, parties to host, and potlucks to attend, a quick and easy appetizer recipe is a lifesaver. Not only does it keep your guests happy and occupied while you finish up the main course, but it also allows you to enjoy the festivities without stressing over complicated preparations.
That’s why we love Crostini Appetizers. Wind & Willow mixes make it effortless to create gourmet bites that will wow your guests. With minimal effort, you can whip up a stunning and delicious Easy Holiday Appetizer that looks like you spent hours in the kitchen.
Bite-sized, customizable, and oh-so-delicious… Ready to dive into the world of crostini? Let’s break down the basics:
The Building Blocks of a Perfect Crostini
A crostini is a simple yet elegant appetizer that consists of three main components:
The Base: Toasted bread slices, typically from a baguette or ciabatta loaf.
The Spread: A creamy or chunky topping, like cheese, pâté, or tapenade.
The Garnish: A final touch to enhance flavor and presentation, such as fresh herbs, nuts, or fruit.
Crafting the Perfect Base
Choose Your Bread: Opt for a sturdy bread like a baguette or ciabatta.
Slice it Thin: Cut the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Toast to Perfection: Toast the bread slices in a toaster oven or on a baking sheet until golden brown and crispy.
Pro Tips:
For added flavor, brush the bread slices with olive oil or melted butter before toasting.
Many stores now sell these small baguette toasts ready-made! You can find them in the cracker or bread aisle, but we prefer the ones in the bakery area that are freshly made.
Endless Topping Possibilities
The fun part of making crostini is experimenting with different toppings. Here are a few ideas to inspire your creativity:
Melty Goodness: Simply melt your favorite cheese onto your bread for a delicious one ingredient base.
Garnishing a Crostini
Topping your crostini appetizers with a garnish is totally optional, but gives even more room for creativity! You can garnish with a contrasting flavor, like topping a Jalapeno Jack crostini with cranberry jelly. You can garnish to add color like adding the tomato and herb topping to the top of a BLT crostini. Likewise, you can add a garnish that hints at the flavor of the topping, like adding cheddar and bacon to the top of a Smokehouse Bacon & Cheddar crostini. Keep it simple by topping the crostini with the included cheeseball topping packet, or let your creative side show by trying out new combinations on each slice.

Have you ever wanted to impress your guests with a dish that looks fancy but is actually quite simple to make? Look no further than Hasselback potatoes. These thinly sliced potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, making them the perfect canvas for any topping. In this post, we’ll show you a hasselback potato recipe and then show you how to load them up with delicious Cheesy Bacon Dip Mix.
Prepare the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry.
Make the cuts: Place the potatoes on a cutting board and make shallow cuts into the potatoes, about 1/4 inch apart. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Roast the potatoes: Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. To create even more prominent spaces, place a pat of butter between each cut. This step is not necessary but can make your cuts stay spaced out while cooking. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
Prepare Dip: Combine Dip Mix, mayo, and sour cream in a small bowl and mix until incorporated.
Assemble: Once the potatoes are done, stuff the cuts with the Cheesy Bacon Dip. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, bacon, and parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
This hasselback potato recipe with cheesy bacon dip mix are sure to be a hit at your next party or family gathering. The crispy exterior and creamy interior, combined with the savory flavors of the cheesy bacon mix, make for a truly delicious and satisfying dish.
