The holiday season is here and that means we need to have several quick and easy appetizer recipes available.

I am always looking on Pinterest, as well as reading many other blogs, for new appetizer ideas.  One day I was looking through my older cook-books at appetizer recipes from the 1980’s and around that time frame.  We made veggie pizzas and fruit pizzas so many times.

This recipe is an festive spin on a veggie pizza.

To begin making the wreath, open a can of crescent dough sheet and slice into 16 equal size slices. Place a small round ramekin in the center of a round baking pan.

I use my pampered chef stoneware. Sorry it looks well used but it is “just well seasoned.”   Arrange the first layer of dough around the dish in a clockwise pattern, with edges slightly overlapped. Use 12 of the slices.

Next, open and slice the second can of crescent dough into 16 slices. Arrange the 20 slices in a counter clockwise patter around the first ring. Edges should be slightly overlapped.

If the second ring of dough is overlapped too much the pizza crust will be too thick.

Remove the ramekin. Bake until crust is light golden brown. Remove from oven to a cooling rack for 20 minutes.

Run a long sharp knife under the bottom of crust and slide carefully onto a wire cooling rack.

Prepare the filling and toppings while the crust is baking and cooling.

Spread cream cheese filling over the  crust.  Top with ham, veggies, and cheese. Press down slightly. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

To make a festive presentation, add a candle in the center surrounded by greenery such as parsley. Do not use a scented candle, as it will give the food a flavor.  An LED candle would be perfect.

  1. What a fun, delicious and pretty appetizer for the holidays! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us at Weekend Potluck, Pamela!

    1. Thank you Mary. You are always so kind. I appreciate seeing all of the great recipes on your site.

    1. Sorry..if it is the cheddar cheese that is sprinkled on top, it would still be fine to leave it off.

  2. I came across this recipe searching for wreath shapes appetizers. But noticed the name “Grandma Honey”. In all my 33 years I’ve never heard of anyone else call their grandma Honey accept mine. She passed a couple years ago unfortunately. So sweet to hear that name. ❤️ I’ll be making the recipe for our Family Christmas and now I’ll have a story to tell.

    1. Awww I love this! I lost my grandma years ago and miss her so much too. I got this name from one of my granddaughters when she was about 18 mo old. I called to talk to her everyday and would always say something like “Hi Honey how are you today?” One day she came thru the house carrying the phone to her mom and said “call Honey”. That was the beginning and I became known as honey. That granddaughter is 17 yrs old now and still calls me that. Merry Christmas to your family and your story also made my day special.
