  2. Once the tree is built, add the Abruzzese as "ornaments" as well as the stuffed olives.
  3. Outline tree with Rosemary sprigs.
  4. Cut the brie into the shape of a star (mine turned into a 4 point star) and put at the top of the tree.
  5. Cut the whiskey cheddar into the shape of a tree trunk and place at the bottom of the tree.
  6. Add fruits, extra cheese, Fois Gras mousse, and nuts around the tree.
  7. On a separate plate/cutting board (if you don't have enough room on the platter with the tree), place bread, crackers, and apricot preserve.
