Step 2
Remove the foil from the cheese wheel. Score the top with lengthwise and crosswise strips, without cutting all the way to the sides. If you cut through, the cheese will leak into the pan while baking. Peel the garlic cloves, rinse them, and slice them. Insert the slices into the cuts and sprinkle with dried rosemary. Fresh rosemary may be used if desired.
