Toppings Bar for Easy & Delicious Entertaining

November 18, 2014 By Erin Kennedy 36 Comments

This post is brought to you by Stonefire and Alouette. All opinions and content is my own.

With it being the holiday season, this is the time of year we are throwing many events or get-togethers. Coming up with ideas on what to serve can be confusing, especially when you want to make sure that everyone will enjoy what you serve.


My husband and I love to entertain. However, we don’t always have a lot of time to make an entire meal, or many different appetizers. However, we love options and know that our guests do too.

What I love most is cheese. Who doesn’t love cheese? And the more options the better. You really can’t go wrong with heavenly cheeses.

If you want a fabulous way to entertain your guests with some great options, you should check out my Cheese Spread Toppings Bar. I used Alouette brand cheese spreads because they have so many different cheese flavors that will wow all of your guests palates.

I decided to use Stonefire Authentic Flatbreads (never made with artificial ingredients or preservatives) to build all my delicious toppings on. I wanted to give a lot of variety, and Stonefire has flatbreads in Original, Garlic and Whole Wheat.

I  created a toppings bar that everyone can mix and match their favorite flavors. It looks like a sophisticated spread, but was quick and easy to put together. I chose toppings that were savory and sweet. I also wanted to make sure some toppings had some texture like nuts and cucumbers.

I had 8 flavors of cheese spreads, so I wanted to make sure my toppings complimented them. With a few choices, the possibilities of each delicious bite are endless.

Through November and until supplies last, you can take advantage of a special promotion to  get a Stonefire Flatbread free when you buy any (1) Alouette Cheese at select retailers. That way you can create your own toppings bar and make your perfect combination of flavors!
