BRIE BITES that look like little Christmas Trees.

Thoughtful cheeseboards make me so happy. A thematic one, while albeit kitschy, can be super beautiful and really sell a moment. I’ve made these sophisticated little tree bites twice now—once with brie and the second time with camembert. If you want a seriously pungent though dynamic and interesting bite, go camembert—fyi, it will make your house smell like stinky cheese. For a more crowd-friendly option, the brie is perfect. It’s a much more mellow but still super delicious bite. If I were making these for a large group, I’d go brie.

I paired these with store bought chocolate covered cherries. They were the quintessentially perfect sweet to pair with these. I highly recommend.
