Ingredients

• 200g camembert

• 100 g quark

• 100g yoghurt

• 100g sour cream

• 50g soft butter

• ½ red onion

• 1 bunch chives

• 1 tsp paprika powder (sweet)

• 1 tsp caraway

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 pinch pepper

Instructions

• First we start to pluck the soft cheese with a spoon. This leads to more pleasant pieces and a finer mouthfeel.
  

• Then we add the paprika, caraway and salt and mash everything with a fork. The mashing makes for a creamier experience. It is precisely from this process that the name "Obazn" for lightly pressed comes.
  

• Now we can cut off the front white onion from the chives, chop it into cubes and add it. We save the rest of the green onion as a topping for later.
  

• Now we add 200 g quark and 100 g yoghurt and sour cream. The latter provides the freshness.
  

• Then we can mix everything together. Of course, it would be best to mix by hand, but for convenience reasons, I use a mixer here. Now add a tablespoon of beer. It's important not to overdo it, because that can quickly backfire and Bavarian Obazda becomes too liquid.

• Finally, season everything to taste with a pinch of pepper and, if you like, a little lemon juice. To serve, chop the remaining green chives or add red onions on top. Bon app!

Resumé

I don't need to beat about the bush. A Bavarian classic and easy for everyone. Just make it and share it.

FAQ

Can I use a different cheese instead of camembert?

Yes, brie works just as well and gives a similarly creamy consistency. Just make sure the cheese is ripe and soft enough to mash easily.

How long does Obazda keep in the fridge?

Well sealed, it keeps for about 2-3 days in the fridge. Give it a quick stir before serving, since the texture settles a little.

What is Obazda traditionally served with?

Classically with pretzels or a hearty farmhouse bread, plus radishes and a cold beer - straight out of Bavarian beer garden tradition.
