Christmas tree platter, if you are looking for a Christmas-themed appetizer, here is the perfect recipe.
A platter of cold cuts and cheeses in the shape of a Christmas tree, whether you serve it at a party or as a snack or as part of a Christmas brunch, perfect even for New Year’s Eve, will please everyone. The beauty of this appetizer, in addition to its truly scenic appearance, is that you can use a lot of products to make it. Cold cuts, cheese, fruit, vegetables, dried fruit, you can use a classic cheese board, round plate, oval plate, or a slate plate as a tray.
In my case, I found a lovely tree-shaped platter, but nothing prevents you from creating it on a plate, or a classic wooden board. Get creative! You will amaze your guests, and you will have fun preparing it. Naturally, you can vary the ingredients to your liking and creative moment.
