The savory star is a baked good that can be served as an appetizer or side dish during the upcoming Christmas holidays 🙂
Now there’s less than a week to Christmas, and many already know what to cook, but if there’s anyone still undecided, this recipe might be an idea.
This morning, needing to refresh the sourdough, I took a piece of it to prepare a savory Christmas treat 😀
I chose to make a Christmas star and filled it with mortadella, ham, and added some cherry tomatoes.
The savory star is simple and appetizing and will surely please everyone.
Instead of mortadella, you can use salami and also add cheeses of your choice 😉
If I have piqued your interest, all that’s left is for you to try it too.
