Instructions
- Take a house shaped christmas gift box and wrap the outside with parchment paper, securing the loose ends inside the box if necessary you can tape them down on the inside)
- Next spread cream cheese around the box, this is what acts as the glue to secure all the pieces to the chalet.
- Fold salami slices in half and layer them on the roof so that they are slightly overlapping
- Place a breadstick across the peak of the roof
- Cut matchstick style pieces of Comté and layer the sides of the house alternating between Comté pieces and the italian breadsticks ( if italian bread sticks are too long just cut them according to the size of your box), repeat this for the two sides and back
- Use a large square and rectangle cut of comte to cover the front part of the house
- Use a croccantini crack for the door, corn nuts and cranberries for the windows
- Use pistachios trim for the roof
- Secure chalet on board covered with extra cream cheese and use herbs to create trees
- Add pistachios to create a stone walkway from the door.
- Optional wreath: take a sprig of Thyme wrapping the spring in a circle and securing the circle by twisting the ends around itself as you make the circle shape. Secure in the cheese with a toothpick end
