Easy Holiday Appetizers
Sliced Apples with Goat Cheese
This simple recipe is a no brainer! I slice Gala apples thinly and top with Purple Haze Goat Cheese from Cypress Grove. The lavender and fennel in the Purple Haze make it an unforgettable taste especially when the creamy cheese is spread on the crisp apple. It pairs perfectly with the Prosecco Superiore. It finish it off with a crack of fresh black pepper and rosemary.
Sausage and Parmesan Bites
These sausage and parmesan bites are like a cheese plate on a stick! This makes them super easy to eat and enjoy with a glass of Prosecco Superiore DOCG in hand! First, toss ciabatta bread with olive oil, garlic powder and salt. Toast in the oven for 10 minutes at 450 degrees until the edges of the bread are just starting to crisp and brown. Top with thinly sliced sausage from the deli (I love spicy versions) and a thick cut of salty parmesan.
