Christmas Tree Cheese Board
Make your Christmas party unforgettable with a Christmas tree-shaped cheese board that will impress your guests!
Equipment
- 1 wooden board (44 x 42cm)
Ingredients
MEATS
- coppa
- pistachio mortadella
- salami
CHEESE
- cheddar cheese
- spicy paprika cheese
FRUITS AND NUTS
- grapes
- clementines
- pomegranate seeds
- almonds
GARNISH
- rosemary (fresh sprigs)
CARBS, SPREADS
- pickles
- tomato jam
- pretzel sticks
- crackers
Instructions
- Choose a large, flat surface to assemble your cheese board. I used a rectangular wooden board and cut a piece of parchment paper into a triangle shape to serve as a visual guide while arranging the ingredients.
- Cut the desired cheeses into slices, wedges, or cubes. Using a cookie cutter cut the star shape from some of your semi-hard cheeses. Set aside.
- Start with the widest part of the "tree" at the bottom. Arrange a row of cured meat in a straight line (or slightly curved one). Layer the cheese row above the first one, and continue with doing this with other ingredients making each row narrower as you move up.
- Place nuts in small clusters for texture and flavor variety. To make a tree trunk, use some crackers or pretzel sticks at the base.
- Finally, finish this Christmas tree cheese board with sprigs of fresh rosemary. At the top, add a star-shaped piece of cheese to finish the look. I had some extra place on my board after arranging my Christmas tree, so, to the sides, I added crackers, lovely homemade tomato jam, and pickles. Serve!
