Instructions
- ayer meats in rows, one on top of the other, except for the uncured Abruzzese (The slices of meats are folded in half and each row has a little less the row before to become the shape of a tree).
- Once the tree is built, add the Abruzzese as "ornaments" as well as the stuffed olives.
- Outline tree with Rosemary sprigs.
- Cut the brie into the shape of a star (mine turned into a 4 point star) and put at the top of the tree.
- Cut the whiskey cheddar into the shape of a tree trunk and place at the bottom of the tree.
- Add fruits, extra cheese, Fois Gras mousse, and nuts around the tree.
- On a separate plate/cutting board (if you don't have enough room on the platter with the tree), place bread, crackers, and apricot preserve.
