Obatzda

A typical bavarian cheese cream which is served in the Biergarten (literally translated as beer garden) all over in Bavaria, Germany.  Also known as Obatzter or Obazda, it is a mixture of different types of cheese and butter, seasoned with sweet paprika, salt and ground black pepper.  Best eaten with Brezel (pretzel) or Laugengebäck.


Ingredients (serves 4):
200 g Brie cheese, remove rind and cut into pieces
100 g Camembert cheese, remove rind and cut into pieces
100 g Philadelphia cream cheese
1 large onion, to be peeled and grated
salt and ground pepper to taste
1 tsp sweet paprika powder
chopped chives for garnishing

Method:
In a bowl, add the 3 types of cheese and mash them by using a fork.


Then, add grated onion and sweet paprika powder.  Season with salt and ground pepper to taste.


Leave aside for a minimum period of 30 minutes in order that the flavour is infused. Sprinkle a little sweet paprika powder and chopped chives before serving.


Bon Appetit!
