Instructions

Peel the onion and roughly dice it. Cut the Camembert into cubes, then briefly blend it together with the onion, cream cheese, and paprika in a food processor.

Add the beer a little at a time and continue blending until the mixture is creamy but still slightly chunky. Season with salt, pepper, caraway seeds, and, if needed, a bit more paprika, then serve topped with chives as desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cheese Temperature Magic 🧀
Let the Camembert and cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to ensure a smoother, more spreadable consistency.
Beer Selection Secrets 🍺
Choose a traditional Bavarian lager or wheat beer for authentic flavor; avoid hoppy craft beers that can overpower the delicate cheese blend.
Onion Technique Perfection 🧅
Finely dice the onions and briefly sauté them to mellow their sharp edge, creating a more balanced and refined Obazda flavor profile.
Spice Layering Trick 🌶️
Toast the caraway seeds lightly in a dry pan before adding to intensify their nutty, aromatic qualities and enhance the overall dish.
Chive Cutting Hack 🔪
Use kitchen scissors to finely and evenly chop fresh chives, which provides a more precise cut than a knife and prevents bruising.
