Liptauer Cheese Spread (Körözött)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Appetizers
Körözött is the cornerstone of Hungarian finger food. The name comes from 'körözni' (to circle/mix), referring to how ingredients were mixed until perfectly smooth. A good Liptauer balances the creaminess of butter, the acidity of cheese, the bite of onion, and the earthiness of caraway.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mash the cheese with a fork. Cream the butter with the spices (paprika, caraway, salt, pepper, mustard).

Tip: Mixing spices into the fat (butter) releases their fat-soluble flavors better.
2 ✓

Finely mince the onion.

Tip: You can salt the onion for 5 minutes to soften it and reduce its bite.
3 ✓

Combine the spiced butter, cheese, onion, and sour cream. Mix until it has a uniform orange hue.

Tip: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let flavors meld (diffusion).

Recipe FAQ

What onion to use?
Yellow onion is classic, red is sweeter, scallion is fresher. Just chop it extremely fine!
