Create a festive Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board with a variety of cheeses, meats, fruits, and nuts.

Ingredients

  • Assorted cheeses (cheddar, brie, gouda)
  • Cured meats (salami, prosciutto, pepperoni)
  • Fresh fruits (grapes, strawberries, apple slices)
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • Dried fruits (cranberries, apricots)
  • Crackers or breadsticks
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) for decoration
  • Optional: Chocolate, olives, or pickles for additional variety

Instructions

  1. Select a large wooden board or a festive platter to serve as the base for your charcuterie.
  2. Shape the Tree: Arrange a triangle shape with crackers or breadsticks at the bottom to form the tree trunk.
  3. Layer the Cheeses: Cut cheese into various shapes (slices, cubes, or wedges) and place them in a tree-like pattern, starting from the bottom and working your way up.
  4. Add the Meats: Fold or roll the cured meats and place them around the cheeses, filling in gaps for a full look.
  5. Incorporate Fresh Fruits: Add fresh fruits around the board to add color and freshness. Grapes can hang like ornaments, while apple slices can be placed strategically.
  6. Sprinkle in Nuts and Dried Fruits: Fill in any remaining spaces with nuts and dried fruits, adding texture and flavor.
  7. Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Use rosemary or thyme sprigs to decorate the top of your tree and add a festive touch.
  8. Final Touches: Add small bowls for olives, pickles, or chocolate for extra variety and to keep the board organized.
  9. Serve with Style: Place small tongs or toothpicks for easy serving and enjoy the festive atmosphere!
