This is such a great appetizer idea for any time during the holidays, but you really don’t need an excuse to try them because they’re so simple and SO good. I love using puff pastry for the convenience factor for things exactly like this- it’s flaky and perfect when paired with the salty prosciutto and creamy cheese, and is ready within half an hour. Can’t beat that. Hope you love these, enjoy!
