By House & Home On

Step 1: Using a fork, mash together the two cheeses in a bowl until blended. Mix in the remaining ingredients, except the olive oil.

Step 2: Line a 3″-diameter round ramekin with plastic wrap. Spoon cheese mixture into ramekin. Press in gently with the back of the spoon, smoothing out the surface.

Step 3: Unmould the cheese onto a serving dish by inverting ramekin and pulling gently at the plastic wrap. Discard plastic wrap. Drizzle cheese mold with olive oil. Serve with ripe pear slices or crackers.
