  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives

Instructions

For the cheese

  • Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl. Taste it and adjust the level of salt.
  • Refrigerate the mix for at least 1 hour or until it's firm again.
  • On a bit of cling film, spread out the seeds. Place the cheese at the centre and roll it around to coat it.
  • Wrap the cheese with the plastic and tie it with 3 pieces of string, pulling so you make a dent before tying it.

  • Serve it and garnish with a cinnamon stick and a leaf.
