Guys, it is time to start thinking about Christmas appetizer recipes and these Pistachio, Feta and Pomegranate Crostinis are a great way to bring some Christmas colour and taste to your table.
Think roasted nutty pistachios, salted feta and sweet ruby red pomegranate seeds and crusty baked bread. And if your guests prefer fewer carbs then use lettuce cups instead of bread. You can prep everything beforehand, glam up, and pour out the Christmas cocktails and pull of the appetizers as guests turn up.
How To Make Feta, Pomegranate And Pistachio Crostinis
There are two ways to make these easy Christmas Crostini.
The oven way (they take a little bit more time).
- Preheat oven and arrange the baguette slices on a baking tray, drizzle on some olive oil and bake until they are golden.
- Assemble the crostini by topping the bread with some feta cheese, pistachio nuts and pomegranate seeds and finish with a drizzle of honey.
The Even easier no-bake way
You don’t need to actually bake the crostini.
- Just start with a fresh crusty baguette and assemble the crostini by topping the bread with some feta cheese, pistachio nuts and pomegranate seeds and finish with a drizzle of honey.

10/12/2014 at 7:49 pmAwesome photos…again. I don’t think I’ve had pomegranate since I was a kid. This combination with the pistachios (my frequent home snack), salted feta and the honey sounds great, Bintu! I hope you are having a great week! 🙂
