  • Supplies:

  • Cheese Knife.
  • Toothpicks.
  • Card stock.
  • Pencil.
  • Razor.
  • Decorative Direction:

  • This is another simple project that can be done the night before your event! Draw out the shape of a butterfly wing on cardstock with several decorative slits. Cut out with a razor and use this as your stencil.
  • Slice cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Place butterfly stencil over the cheese and using a razor to cut out the shape. Do this twice for every butterfly. Place each individual wing in a layer of parchment and freeze until ready to stage.
  • Cube coby jack and remaining Monterey and place decorative toothpicks in each cube. Cut large cube of cheese for base of each butterfly and surround with smaller cubes. Adhere butterfly wings by skewering toothpick into defrosted wing and inserting into base cheese.
  • Serve immediately once assembled.
