Laughing Cow Cheese Trees
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 package Laughing Cow cheese wedges (8), any flavor you like.
- small thin pretzel sticks
coating ideas*
- dried tarragon, parsley, dill, fines herbes, etc., crushed between your fingers to refresh
- fresh 'woody' herbs like thyme and rosemary, very finely minced or they will not adhere
- pink peppercorns**
Instructions
- Unwrap your cheese wedges and use a skewer to poke a hole into the bottom edges to make space to insert a pretzel stick 'trunk'.
- Snap your pretzel sticks into shorter 1 1/2 " lengths and gently insert into the cheese. Don't try to insert them too far or the cheese can split.
- Sprinkle your coating lightly onto a plate. Press one side of the cheese into the coatings. You want a light sparse coating, not super thick. Add a few pink peppercorns on for holiday color.
- Serve right away, or refrigerate covered in plastic for up to 2 hours ahead.
Notes
*I find that dried herbs work better than fresh.
**Allergy note: Pink peppercorns are related to cashews, so they can trigger reactions in those with tree nut allergies. When in doubt, skip them.
