Instructions

Creating your Christmas Tree Shaped Charcuterie Board is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Choose a Board: Start with a large wooden or slate board as your base.
2. Arrange the Base: Place a triangle or star shape using cheese or a large piece of bread to form the tree’s base.
3. Layer the Meats: Begin adding cured meats in layers, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Overlap them slightly to create depth.
4. Add the Cheeses: Cut cheeses into various shapes—triangles, cubes, or slices—and place them around the meats, filling gaps.
5. Incorporate Fruits: Add fresh fruits like grapes or strawberries to fill in spaces and add color.
6. Sprinkle Nuts: Place nuts in clusters around the board for added texture and crunch.
7. Add Dried Fruits: Use dried fruits as accents to enhance the festive look.
8. Garnish with Herbs: Tuck fresh herbs around the board to create a natural, vibrant look.
9. Final Touches: If desired, add small decorative elements like mini ornaments or edible glitter for a festive flair.
10. Serve with Crackers: Arrange crackers or breadsticks around the edge of the board for guests to enjoy with the meats and cheeses.

By following these steps, you’ll create a beautiful and festive Christmas Tree Shaped Charcuterie Board that will impress your guests.
