Liptauer

A Slovak spreadable cheese made with fresh cheese, bryndza and paprika, very flavourful thanks to the capers and onions. Served on rye bread as an aperitif, it's a staple at buffets and picnics.

Instructions

  1. Mash the bryndza with a fork in a bowl to make it creamy.
  2. Add the quark and softened butter, then mix until smooth.
  3. Finely slice the red onion and chop the capers, then stir them into the mixture.
  4. Add the mustard, paprika and cumin, then season with salt and pepper.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning; the spread should be nicely piquant.
  6. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour so the flavours can develop.
  7. Serve with slices of rye bread, radishes and gherkins.

Variations and tips

Light version. Replace the butter with extra fromage blanc.

Using what's easy to find. Replace the bryndza with well-mashed feta.
