cheese board in a wreath shape surrounded by garnishes and crackers

A quick Christmas appetizer for you to make for any last minute holiday parties you have coming up! Of course we love a little goat cheese recipe. And this whipped goat cheese wreath is perfectly adorable, festive and delicious! I’ve tried this a couple different ways – forming a solid wreath or these little piped dollops shown here. The fresh herbs really bring out the wreath vibe and the pop of the pomegranate arils are the perfect crunch!
