Gently spoon some of the cheese mixture over the bottom of the bowl, pressing down gently.
Spoon in the remaining cheese mixture and smooth over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate until ready to use.

To unmold: remove plastic wrap. Arrange fresh herbs or other greens over the exposed “top” of the
molded cheese, so that some will come out from the edges. Place a flat plate or server over the
bowl and invert so that the “top” becomes the “bottom”. Carefully lift up the bowl and gently remove
the plastic wrap. Serve with crackers, pita wedges, bagel chips or baguette slices.
