A quintessential cheesy spread served in Bavarian biergartens alongside pretzels and hearty bread. It’s prepared by combining aged soft cheese, butter, spices and a dash of beer to give it a tangy, malted flavor.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 6
- 6 ounces camembert with rind
- 6 ounces triple cream brie with rind
- 4 ounces (1 stick) softened butter
- 2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
- 1/3 cup Warsteiner, or any other pilsner
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Thinly sliced red onions and chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
1. Break the camembert and brie into small chunks.
2. Combine all ingredients except garnish in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. (If a stand mixer isn’t available, use a hand mixer and beat ingredients together in large bowl.) Beat on medium speed until smooth.
3. Transfer to serving bowl and top with red onions and chives.
4. Refrigerate for a few hours to let tastes meld together and serve with sliced onions, pretzels, crackers and beer.
