The magic of liptauer cheese

If you want something sinful to spread on your toast over brekkie, give this a go.

  • A tub of cream cheese
  • A couple of shallots, finely sliced
  • A couple of generous teaspoons of sweet paprika
  • A sprinkle of mustard powder
  • Some finely chopped pickled baby cucumbers
  • A clove of crushed garlic
  • A handful of chopped chives
  • A sprinkle of caraway seeds

Mix together. It should go a great shade of pink. Spread it on toast or rye bread and speak with a Hungarian accent.

If you’re looking for something that’s semi-sinful for your toast, mix it with some quark cheese to cut down on the Philadelphia calories.

    My Hungarian foster Mother used to make Liptauer - or Kereuseut as she called it - when I was little. Philly cream cheese was much firmer in the seventies so she used to thin it out with Nuttelex margerine if she didn’t have time to get her hands on some creamy Neufchatel from the Vic Market. We used to eat it spread on soft, musty dark rye bread, topped with long slices of fresh yellow paprika/banana chillies and crunchy sea salt…mmmm…I can just hear her now, softly in the background, “Sveetie-darlink, deeeeleeeshars - no?”
