Antipasto Christmas Tree
Ingredients:
For the Cheese:
1 kg cream cheese
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp red chilli flakes
1/2 cup green olives, chopped
1/2 cup black olives, chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Salt
For the Decorations:
1 1/2 cups pitted mixed olives - I used a variety of black, green and Kalamata olives
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Rosemary sprigs
Cheddar cheese - cut using a star-shaped cookie cutter
Method
In a bowl combine all the ingredients for the flavoured cream cheese and mix until the ingredients are well combined.
Use your hands to mold the cream cheese into a tree shape directly on your serving platter.
Decorate with olives, sun-dried tomatoes and rosemary sprigs, lightly pressing each element into the cream cheese to ensure they stay on.
Top with a star cut out of yellow cheddar.
Serve with crackers or a crusty baguette.
