This is such a fun and festive appetizer to serve this Christmas. Bread dough balls filled with cheese, formed into a Christmas Tree and topped with seasoned melted butter and baked to perfection.
This recipe is also very versatile so you can switch up the cheese thats inside the biscuit dough as well as what you add on top.
You can always use Pizza dough instead of biscuit dough.
