1.Prepare the herringbone appetizer crackers. Slice the cucumber lengthwise and cut into half circles. Cut triangular tops out of the cheddar cheese. Spread soft cream cheese on each cracker and arrange cucumber half circles. Set the cheddar tops on top. The Christmas tree is ready.

2. To decorate the snowflake appetizer, from the salami circles, cut a circle with a smaller diameter equal to the cracker diameter. Cut a snowflake out of the cheese using a cookie cutter. Spread cream cheese on the crackers, arrange the salami and decorate with the cheese snowflakes. It’s simple and elegant.

3.Cut a small section off the salami. Cap the salami and use your fingers to press the edges together. Place Santa’s cap on a cheese-covered cracker. Add a cheese pompon.

4. Using the pepperoni attachment of a culinary syringe, shape small circles into reindeer noses. Spread cream cheese on crackers. Use a fork to create a heterogeneous texture – reindeer fur. Arrange the eyes – peas – peppers, nose – pepperoni. Break randomly crackers and arrange instead of antlers.

5. Cut cherry tomatoes into four pieces – this will be the Grinch’s hat. Using the syringe attachment, cut out cheddar circles and cut them in half to make the Grinch’s eyes. Place the avocado puree on the cracker, set the cheddar eyes, sesame pupils and tomato cap. Mr. Grinch at your service.

Appetizing appetizers can be arranged in the shape of a Christmas wreath or tree. Garnish the serving with sprigs of rosemary. Remember that crackers smeared with cream cheese stay crisp for about three hours. Keep this in mind when planning your menu.
