Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix in local cream cheese, local cheddar cheese, onion, mustard and peppers until well combined.

Step 2

If making two trees, divide in half or if making one leave as whole. Refrigerate mixture until firm enough to shape.

Step 3

Place cheese mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet. Shape mixture into a cone to look like a Christmas tree. Roll tree in parsley and/or press parsley evenly onto tree.

Step 4

Press dried cranberries onto the cheese tree diagonally in a row to form a garland. Press bell pepper pieces onto trees for ornaments. Top tree with a star shape cut from a block of local cheddar cheese. Serve with crackers.
