Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 oz. Havarti cheese in ¾-inch cubes
- 8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese in ¾-inch cubes
- 4 oz. Prosciutto
- 4 oz. salami
- 1 cup olives
- 1/2 pound grapes - green red or a variety of both
- ¼ cup roasted almonds
- Cherry tomatoes or cranberries
- 5 sprigs of rosemary for garnish - optional
- Crackers and bread for serving - I like to include a variety of wheat white, etc.
Instructions
- Start with the base of the tree and add slices of salami in the shape of a large, flat trapezoid.
- Next, add the olives in a slightly smaller trapezoid right above the salami, followed by the prosciutto above.
- Add the cheeses above the meat and finish the top of the tree with grapes.
- Add the almonds in a rectangle at the bottom of the cheese board to make the tree trunk.
- Garnish the tree with sprigs of rosemary throughout the board and decorate with cherry tomatoes or cranberries to mimic ornaments on a tree.
- Top with a cheese star and serve with crackers and bread.

Serve immediately or store refrigerated for up to 24 hours wrapped well in Saran wrap.
