Ingredients

5 slices sandwich bread
3/4 cup cream cheese (like Philadelphia)
7 oz smoked salmon
5 oz canned tuna in oil
1/2 cup pistachio flour
1/2 cup sesame seeds

Steps

For your Christmas Tree Appetizer Rolls, no cooking is needed and only a few simple ingredients.
First, flatten a slice of sandwich bread with a rolling pin, spread a layer of cream cheese like Philadelphia, add a layer of smoked salmon or well-drained canned tuna, roll up and seal the roll with plastic wrap like a candy.
Let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour; this step will help make everything compact.
After the resting time, spread a thin layer of cream cheese on one side of the roll and roll it in pistachio flour (or granola) or sesame seeds; I chose pistachio for salmon and sesame for tuna to distinguish the flavors.
At this point, simply cut the rolls about 3/4 inch thick. For each slice, you will get 5 or 6 rolls depending on the brand you use; you should aim for about 23/24 pieces.
To create the tree of rolls, alternate the flavors in layers to form about 5 tiers.
Once the tree is built, finish decorating it with a cheese star held with a toothpick and add a few sprigs of rosemary.
Your Scenic and Tasty Christmas Tree Appetizer Rolls are ready to be the most delicious and appreciated centerpiece for everyone!
