Rest and serve: let rest for 5-10 min at room temperature. Serve with toasted bread, crackers, or rye bread.
- For a creamier cheese, warm it slightly in the oven without melting it. Choose a tangy apple that will hold up to cooking and balance the richness of the cheese. Add pomegranate seeds at the last moment to preserve their crunch and shine. For a festive presentation, play with color contrasts (purple, red, green, gold).
