Charcuterie Christmas Tree Skewers
Charcuterie Christmas Tree Skewers
Ingredients
For the Charcuterie Trees
- 4 cornichons, small pickles
- 16 salami, round slices
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into small star shapes
- 4 wooden paddle-style skewers
Instructions
- 1
Begin by threading one cornichon onto the bottom of each wooden skewer. This will form the "trunk" of your Christmas tree.

Take one slice of salami and fold it in half once. Thread this folded salami onto the skewer, positioning it directly above the cornichon.

Take a second slice of salami and fold it in half twice. Thread this onto the skewer above the first salami layer. Skewering the folded edge can help it fan out more effectively.
⏱️ 4 min

Take a third slice of salami and fold it in half twice again. Thread this onto the skewer, placing it slightly closer to the top than the previous layer to begin narrowing the "tree" shape.
⏱️ 4 min
- 5
For the final salami layer, take a fourth slice of salami and fold it into thirds, then in half. This creates a smaller, tighter fold. Thread this piece onto the very top of the salami layers.
⏱️ 4 min

Finish each charcuterie tree by topping the skewer with a small, star-shaped piece of cheddar cheese, representing the star on top of the Christmas tree.
