Preparation
- In a small bowl, mix together the chopped rosemary, thyme, pistachios, cranberries, flaky salt, and red pepper flakes together in a shallow dish.
- Insert a pretzel rod into the bottom of each Babybel cheese round to act as the tree trunk.
- Gently roll the top of the cheese in the herb-nut mixture, pressing lightly so the mixture sticks to create a festive, colorful “tree.”
- Once fully coated, arrange the cheese trees on a serving platter. Serve as a holiday appetizer.
- Enjoy!
