Bring holiday charm to the table with this Boursin Christmas Tree, with soft cheese, olives, a ton of fresh rosemary, and a balsamic drizzle. Served on the 26-inch big board.
Unwrap the three packages of Boursin cheese and place them on top of a large piece of plastic wrap. Press into the shape of a tree (see photos). Your hands will get messy, so feel free to wear kitchen gloves. You can also spray your hands with cooking spray before you begin.
Once you have the shape you want, cover the cheese with the plastic wrap and finalize the shape of a Christmas Tree. Once you have achieved the shape and size, remove the plastic wrap and place on a plate.
Next, using a toothpick, insert the olives into the cheese one at a time, filling up the tree to make “ornaments." You can insert different types of olives, but make sure they’re pitted.
The last step is to take a small sprig of rosemary, and insert/poke the rosemary in the spaces between the olives.
Add a red pepper on top of the tree for the “tree topper."
Around the olive Christmas tree, add fresh baguette bread. Optional to add crackers. We love to serve this dish with a side of balsamic glaze.
