Savory Hungarian Cheese Spread (Körözött)🇭🇺


🥣 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the base:
    In a bowl, mash the cottage cheese (or Liptauer) with a fork until creamy, or use a food processor for a smoother texture.
  2. Add flavor:
    Mix in the softened butter, sour cream, paprika, mustard, and grated onion. Stir until everything is well combined.
  3. Season:
    Add salt, pepper, and crushed caraway seeds to taste. Adjust spices to your liking.
  4. Chill:
    Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  5. Serve:
    Garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve with rye bread, crusty baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.

📝 Notes:

  • Traditional Körözött is made with a cheese called Liptauer, which is soft and tangy. If you can’t find it, a mix of cottage cheese and cream cheese or quark works well.
  • For a smoky touch, you can add a dash of smoked paprika.
  • Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
