These adorable Snowman Cheese Crostini with mozzarella and basil make an excellent addition to your Christmas party menu.
Enjoy them as they are, or ditch the scarves and add halved tomato and mayo hats.
You can top the toasted baguette with olive oil or pesto or rub the slices with garlic before you add the snowmen.
