Preparation

Step 1

Process Gruyère, cream cheese, wine, and thyme in a food processor until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Place cheese mixture on a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap and use paper to shape into a ball; chill until firm, about 2 hours.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. Toast seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Let cool.

Roll cheese ball in pumpkin and/or sunflower seeds. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.

DO AHEAD: Cheese ball (without seeds) can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Roll in seeds 30 minutes before serving.
