To enhance the flavor of the cheese, it is best to serve this snack with bran bread or whole grain flour or crispbread. After cooking, the snack must be kept in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, so its taste will be more intense and harmonious. However, it does not need to be cooked in advance, for example, a day in advance, or in the evening; onions added to the appetizer will give a not very pleasant bitterness.
