Ingredients
Cheese
- 10-12 oz colby jack, cubed
- 8-10 oz Havarti, cubed
- 6-8 oz cheddar, cubed
- 8 oz pack of provolone slices (cut with a star or snowflake cookie cutter)
Meats
- 8 oz Calabrese salami, or salami of your choice
Produce
- 9 oz blackberries
- 4-6 oz raspberries
Carbs
- pretzel sticks (only a few)
- 9 chocolate shortbread star cookies
Accoutrement
- 6.5 oz Castelvetrano olives
Garnish
- 6-8 small rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- First, cut shapes out of the provolone slices using snowflake and star cookie cutters.
- Next, prep your salami by making salami folds and piling 3-4 pieces on a decorative toothpick.
- Build your tree starting from the bottom with a big row of cheese, then continue up the tree making sure each layer is slightly narrower than the last to ensure the triangle tree shape.
- Place a few pretzels at the bottom to form a tree trunk.
- Garnish with rosemary sprigs to evoke the tree branch feeling, then finish with star-shaped cookies and provolone cut-outs to mimic ornaments.
