Ingredients

  • 8 oz Extra sharp Cheddar
  • 8 oz Colby Jack
  • 7 oz salami thinly sliced
  • 7 oz pepperoni thinly sliced
  • 8 oz green olives (I used pitted Italian castelvetrano olives)
  • 6 oz black olives
  • Pretzel Sticks
  • Crackers
  • rosemary sprigs fresh

Instructions

  1. Start by cubing the white cheddar cheese. Then, thinly slices the colby jack cheese. Then you are ready to assemble.

  2. Lay 10-12 pretzel sticks at the bottom of your board. Next add your cubed white cheddar.

  3. Then, add black olives above the cheddar cubes, making sure you are tapering the edges.

  4. Next will be the salami. The trick with thinly sliced salami is to fold it in half, then in half again before placing it on your board.

  5. Then you will add the colby jack cheese, making sure to leave a few slices so you can cut stars in them for the top.

  6. Next the green olives and then pepperoni. The top of this tree I put crackers topped with some star shaped cheese.

  7. For the final touch, you will add rosemary sprigs at the bottom and along the sides to give it a more "tree" look to it! Then, enjoy!

Recipe Notes
