Cheese Christmas Tree

You will ‘wow’ your guests with this wonderful Cheese Christmas Tree.

It’s easy to make and is festive as well. It is made with different flavored cheese cubes.

For those limiting their fat intake, look for reduced-fat cheese, such as cheddars and light pepper Jack, which are as delicious as the regular cheddars.

Plus, you can make omelets or fondue with any leftovers!

Ingredients

•5 eight-ounce bars of different cheddars, plain and flavored (or substitute other semi-hard cheeses for variety)

•1 bundle fresh thyme sprigs

•Red grape or “teardrop” tomatoes (can substitute cherry tomatoes or olives)

•1 large white button mushroom

Preparation

1. Cut each bar of cheese into 1-inch cubes.

2. On large platter or cutting board, arrange cubes in rows to form tree shape, using a different flavor for each row. Separate the rows of cheese with thyme or rosemary sprigs (rosemary looks like an evergreen twig) and rows of grape tomatoes and/or pimento-stuffed green olives.

3. For the star on top, peel the skin from the mushroom and carve a star pattern into it with point of knife.

4. Enjoy the compliments!
