Create a festive and colorful Christmas Tree Cheese Board featuring layers of Gouda and Colby Jack cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, and fresh rosemary sprigs arranged to resemble a Christmas tree. This easy, no-cook appetizer is perfect for holiday gatherings and adds a fresh, visually appealing centerpiece to your party spread.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 cup Colby Jack cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup Gouda cheese, cubed

Produce

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Assemble the tree: Start at the top of a large serving platter, ideally tree-shaped, by arranging a layer of Gouda cheese cubes to form the tip of the tree.
  2. Build the layers: Add a row of cherry tomatoes just below the Gouda layer, followed by a row of Colby Jack cheese cubes, maintaining the triangular tree shape as you continue downward.
  3. Add greenery: Insert fresh rosemary sprigs beneath the Colby Jack cheese cubes to mimic the look of evergreens and add texture.
  4. Keep going: Repeat the pattern of Gouda, cherry tomatoes, and Colby Jack cheese cubes, layering row by row down the platter to build out the tree shape.
  5. Finish it off: Place additional rosemary sprigs along the bottom of the board to finalize the Christmas tree look. Your colorful, festive cheese board is now ready for guests to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a tree-shaped platter if possible for easier assembly and more festive presentation.
  • Feel free to substitute or add other cheeses and seasonal fruits to customize your tree.
  • Rosemary sprigs not only add visual appeal but also a fresh aromatic touch to the board.
  • Keep cheese refrigerated until just before serving for optimal freshness.
  • This is a no-cook recipe, making it quick and simple for holiday entertaining.
