HUNGARIAN CHEESE SPREAD (LIPTAUER)
I remember having something very similar to this as an appetizer at a party. When I asked for the recipe I was told that it was a family recipe from Hungaria and she just dumps it all in. I then decided to research it and this is what I have come up with. It is combination of several different recipes that I came across until I came up with the taste I remembered.

Steps:
- Beat the cream cheese and cottage cheese together until they are very smooth. Add the capers, cornichons, paprika, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, and mustard. Mix together well and turn into a 1-quart bowl lined with plastic wrap for easier unmolding later. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with the overhanging plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to set.
- When it has become cold enough to turn out - a few hours should do it - unwrap the folded-over plastic wrap on top, place a plate over the now uncovered bowl, turn it over, and unmold. Pull the plastic wrap off and drizzle over a rust-red ooze made by mixing the oil with the paprika.
- Serve this with bread or poppy-seed bagels, gherkins, and, if you like, some chopped red onions.

LIPTAUER (SAVORY PAPRIKA CREAM CHEESE SPREAD)
Liptauer spread is based on a soft sheep's milk cheese called bryndza in the Slovak language. The dish probably came from the Province of Liptov, in the Tatra Mountains, within the old Austro-Hungarian Empire and was first made by sheep farmers. As Liptauer, it has traveled to neighboring regions of central Europe, including Germany, Austria, Italy, Serbia, Slovakia and Hungary.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whip the butter, cream cheese, and quark (or its substitute). Make sure the butter is soft to avoid unpleasant chunks.
- Add the water, onion, garlic, and 1 tbsp of the butter-cheese mixture to a blender and puree.
- Pour the onion-garlic puree into the bowl with the cheeses and mix well.
- Mix in the remaining ingredients and combine well. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. If you used unsalted butter, salt liberally.
- Garnish with chopped chives and dill and serve with soft pretzels, celery sticks, crackers, or toasted German rye bread. It can also be used to stuff tomatoes, red peppers and hard boiled eggs.
- Liptauer tastes best when made the day before so the flavors have a chance to mingle.

- Pair the flavorful Liptauer with a big white Austrian wine. We like the Hiedler 2008 "L&eouml;ss" Gr&euuml;ner Veltliner ($16), a yeasty wine with a nice acidity.
