Instructions
Begin creating your holiday/Christmas cheese board by adding two layers of crackers to the bottom of a large cutting board.
Working upwards, add two layers of sliced cheese. Next, add a layer of sliced meat.
As you layer, start to form the shape of a tree. (You can use my photos as a reference.)
Continue layering with more crackers, cheeses, and meats until you reach the top of the tree.
Decorate your tree with various berries and fruits. Sprinkle with sugared cranberries. Tuck in pieces of fresh rosemary around the tree.
Using small cookie cutters, cut out shapes from cheese slices. Use the shapes to decorate your tree and board.
Serve immediately or wrap with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve.
