Ingredients
- Brie cheese
- 1 olive
- 1 dried cherry
- Cheese braid or string cheese
- Mini mozzarella balls
- Cherry tomatoes and strawberries
- Parma ham
- Salami
- Crackers
- Grapes
- Nuts
Instructions
- Using a small snowflake cookie cutter, press down on the red wax of the Babybel cheese to create an imprint. Then, cut out larger snowflakes from the hard cheese.
- For the cheese braid, untie the knot and separate it into strands. Place the cheese in a bowl and pour boiling water over it to soften. While the strands are still warm, braid them to form Santa's hat, cut some into 5 ½ inch strips for the mustache, and roll the rest into a ball for the pom-pom.
- Remove the white rind from the brie and place it in the center of the board. Use olive slices to create Santa's eyes and the cheese braid to form the brim of his hat. Fold the ham in half and arrange it in a fan shape. Use cherry tomatoes to make the hat and top it off with a pom-pom made from string cheese.
- Shape the salami into a rose and position it on the board. Lay the remaining salami on top of the ham. To the right, line the board with cabanos. Fill the top section with green and dark grapes, and arrange the crackers around them.
- Place Santa's mustache and beard on the board, and add a red cherry for his nose. Complete the presentation with Babybel cheeses and nuts, and sprinkle cheese snowflakes around.
