Thinly slice top rind off cheese, leaving sides and bottom intact. To heat in oven, place on a foil-lined baking sheet for easy handling. Or place round on a microwave-safe plate. Stir all ingredients for each topping together, and spoon each over in pleasing pattern. Topped cheese can be covered and refrigerated for up to half a day. When ready to serve, preheat oven to 350. Bake cheese, uncovered, in center of oven until warm, from 8 to 10 minutes. Or microwave, loosely covered, on medium power just until warm, from 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Serve right away with crackers such as water biscuits.
