Christmas Tree Cheese Platter Appetizer with Sausage
Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 20 minutes mins
Slice your cheese and sausage into desired shapes. I used squares for the cheese and sliced circles for the summer sausage.Be sure to cut a few extra pieces of cheese for the tree’s stump and five cheese triangles to make the star at the top of the tree. Wash cherry tomatoes and parsley and allow them to dry thoroughly. Set aside.
On your cutting board or serving platter, start at the bottom and lay down the cheese first to make the tree stump. Add a row of tomatoes, then a row of parsley, then some more cheese, then crackers, then sausage, all the way up.
Be sure to make the rows at the bottom of the tree the widest, then narrow them down as you go up to get that triangular Christmas tree look.
Once you have gotten close to the top, add a small amount of parsley and create the star at the top of the tree with the 5 triangle pieces of cheese and one tomato.
