Christmas Tree Sausage Rolls are a great go-to for all your holiday parties and celebrations.
This easy Christmas appetizer only requires pizza dough (you can use puff pastry, too) and your favorite sausages.
You can fill the rolls with mustard, ketchup, sriracha, or hot honey.
Feel free to dollop pesto on top of each roll to make the tree even more green (and tasty). You can even use dots of mayo to resemble tree lights.
Your sausage roll Christmas tree is suitable to make in advance and can be served as a fun snack or enjoyed at your festive gatherings.
