Equipment

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces cherry tomatoes
  • 10 ounces bocconcini mozzarella cheese balls
  • 10 ounces yellow cheese Cheddar, Old Amsterdam or Gouda
  • 18 ounces Italian Castelvetrano olives, pitted
  • 18 ounces Kalamata olives
  • 10 ounces marinated roasted red peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 ounces sundried tomatoes
  • 2 ounces fresh rosemary
  • 2 ounces fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sea salt flakes

Instructions

  • Wrap the styrofoam cone with plastic wrap and set it on a serving board.
  • At the base of the cone, insert a toothpick halfway and then add a cherry tomato. Continue adding toothpicks with mozzarella balls, yellow cheese cubes, Castelvetrano olives, kalamata olives, marinated roasted red peppers, and sundried tomatoes, alternating them as you go around.
  • As you create the next layer, place the items so they fill in the spaces between the ingredients below.
  • Keep adding layers until the cone is fully covered, ensuring even distribution of all ingredients.
  • Tuck small sprigs of rosemary into the gaps to resemble pine needles.
  • Optional: Cut a star shape out of yellow cheese and place it on top.
  • Lightly brush the tree with olive oil for a slight sheen.
  • Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the tree to finish.
  • Serve the antipasto tree immediately or refrigerate until you're ready to enjoy
