Impress your guests with the dynamic colors, delicate presentation, and delectable taste of my holiday baguette bites. Each mini combo is packed with a flavorful mix of veggies and herbs and melt in your mouth cheeses, atop a crunchy baguette slice. The ultimate holiday finger food with a modern gourmet twist. ✨

What You’ll Need

I developed these baguette bites while playing around in my kitchen tasting flavors for possible holiday appetizers. I spent two hours combining different ingredients and using the Sergeant as a taste tester. In the end, the five combos below were his favorite. There really are no exact measurements, as portions will be determined based on how many people you are serving. As long as you have the key ingredients for each one they’ll come together beautifully. Have fun with it!
