3. Divide mixture in half; lay each half on square of plastic wrap. Using hands, gather plastic wrap around cheese to shape into two balls. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm.

4. In food processor, pulse pumpkin seeds until slightly crushed; transfer to shallow bowl. Stir in sunflower, poppy and sesame seeds.

5. Unwrap each ball and roll in seed mixture, pressing to adhere, until well coated.

*Serve with crackers and olives.

*Refrigerate unused cheese ball for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 2 months.

*Use any combination of seeds for coating.

*For “everything” flavour, omit pumpkin and sunflower seeds; add 2 tbsp (30 mL) dried onion flakes to seed mixture.
