These Simple Ornament Appetizers are charming, easy-to-make bite-sized snacks perfect for holiday parties or festive gatherings. Featuring crisp rice crackers topped with creamy whipped cream cheese, fresh dill, vibrant yellow bell pepper strips, and juicy cherry tomato halves, they combine a delightful mix of textures and colors that resemble decorative ornaments.

Ingredients

Base

  • 12 rice crackers

Spread

  • 4 oz. whipped cream cheese

Toppings

  • 2 oz. small sprigs of dill
  • 1 oz. yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Arrange the 12 rice crackers on a serving platter, ensuring they are evenly spaced for easy picking.
  2. Spread the cream cheese: Using a small knife or spatula, generously spread whipped cream cheese evenly over the surface of each rice cracker, creating a smooth and creamy base layer.
  3. Add dill sprigs: Place a small sprig of fresh dill on top of the cream cheese on each cracker to add a refreshing herbaceous flavor and festive appearance.
  4. Prepare the bell pepper: Slice the yellow bell pepper into thin strips, then carefully place one strip on each cracker, arranging it decoratively to mimic ornament details.
  5. Top with cherry tomato halves: Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place one half on each cracker, positioning it thoughtfully to complete the ornament look.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once all toppings are assembled, serve immediately as a delightful and colorful appetizer that requires no further cooking.

Notes

  • Use whipped cream cheese for an easy spreading texture; alternatively, softened regular cream cheese can be whipped before spreading.
  • Fresh dill adds a vibrant flavor and visual appeal, but parsley or chives can be used as alternatives.
  • Rice crackers provide a gluten-free base, making this snack suitable for gluten-sensitive guests.
  • Assemble just before serving to prevent crackers from becoming soggy.
  • For added variety, consider using other colorful vegetables or herbs to customize your ornament look.
