     Cheese Tower w/Fruits & Herbs

Category   Appetizers
Sub Category   Holiday Dish
Servings   12
Preptime   20 - 30 min.

Ingredients
1 medium round brie or other soft wheel of cheese
1 package Boursin soft herbed cheese
1 small round of chevre
1 jar fruit compote or preserves (fig jam, orange marmalade, quince or pepper jelly all work nicely)
Whole dates, pitted and halved
dried mission figs, stems removed and halved
dried cherries or cranberries
favorite seasonal fruits, sliced
fresh or dried edible flowers (hibiscus, lavender, rose)
 
glazed pecan or walnut halves, marcona almonds or other roasted nuts
Herbs de Provence
fresh herbs (sage, rosemary, thyme)

Instructions
This is a very free form recipe and is really as much about the artistic impression you want to create as it is an actual recipe.
Just select softer cheese that are formed into rounds and start with the largest round as the bottom/base layer and in desecending order layer up to smallest. In between cheese round layers, use your favorite fruit compotes/preserves and I also like to use a layer under the base for color and to help it stay in place. You can also use toothpicks between layers to keep them in place if you need extra support and depending on how many layers you make.
To decorate, use your imagination to push dried and fresh fruits, nuts, fresh herbs and edible flowers into the sides of your cheese layers. Roll soft cheese rounds in dried herbs for flavor and visual appeal. Top with a fun design of edible decorations.
I like to use a small cake stand/pedestal for my tower but you can also use a pretty, decorative platter. Fill out below/around the base with crackers and fresh fruit and grapes. TA-DA!
