Festive Olive and Cheese Appetizer

It was so fun and easy! Was going to make it for a Christmas party that got canceled. Then for a NYE party, everyone got sick. So, this is just for the two of us. Yum! And it smells so good with the rosemary. I used dill to fill it in.

I always want to make festive appetizers but rarely can I pull them off as intended. In this case, execution of the presentation was mostly easy and you can interchange the olives and cheeses you want. For example, I used Italian green olives - which I’ve never had before but were delicious! I also used a mix of the mozzarella balls per the recipe, but also cubed some sharp white cheddar and pepper Jack for more variety. Loved this Jones! Thanks for this creative recipe/holiday themed idea!

This was a hit at our family Christmas party. So simple and easy to make. I used all of the suggested ingredients. However, next year I think I'll just use plain olives as I was not fond of the marinated ones in the recipe. They were also more expensive.

I made this to take to a friend's house for Christmas dinner & it was a hit! I made the marinade for the mozzarella balls myself since I wasn't aware you could buy them already marinated. They were great! What was left over was kept by the hostess & one of the guests. I arranged the wreath on a silver platter, & it looked so festive & inviting. Great recipe!

I got creative and used a deviled eggs platter!!

Easy to make, fun, and loved by all!!

It was great! Tasty and gorgeous! I was given some exceptional olive oil with garlic and herbs that is used for the mozz and tomatoes! Big hit.

I used dill instead of rosemary cause my rosemary was pretty depleted. Looked gorgeous and so simple!
