Step 2
In a bowl, beat together cheeses and butter. Fold in onions and chive blossoms. Season with salt.
Step 3
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Scoop 2 tablespoons cheese mixture; pat into a ball and transfer to sheet. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Lightly form each ball into an oval "egg." Refrigerate until firm, covered, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. When ready to serve, sprinkle each egg with peppercorns and garnish with more chive blossoms. Serve, with crackers.

Variations

If you can't find spring onions, you can substitute scallions: Halve them lengthwise and roast until caramelized, about 18 minutes.
