Baked Camembert With Dried Cranberries, Walnuts and Honey
Baked cheeses always look impressive — but the truth is that they're easy to prepare. Simply bake cheese until it's oozy in the center, then top with festive toppings, like dried cranberries and a sprig of rosemary. Serve with seasonal fruits and breads.
Crostini for the holiday win! They always look chic, but in reality, they're nothing more than few ingredients stacked on grilled bread. In this case it's a milk and ricotta blend with arugula and figs.
Orange and Cranberry Salsa With Cream Cheese and Crackers
Cranberry sauce? How about cranberry salsa instead? The combination is sweet and tart, and the heat can be increased depending on the amount of jalapeno you add — if any. Those who are feeling fancy can experiment with different cheese like chevre or brie.
It wouldn't be the holidays without a (fruit) Christmas tree! Unlike some other Instagrammable options, this one doesn't require hours of preparation. It combines whole fruits (blueberries and raspberries) with kiwi slices. This is also a great opportunity to use that star-shaped cutter you bought on Amazon at 2:00 a.m. three years ago.
