Notes

SERVING: This Rozhuda is an excellent cheese spread not only for bread but also for bagels and sandwiches.
For a better visual effect, sprinkle the spread with extra chopped chives before serving.
The more sour cream you add to the spread, the smoother and thinner it will be.
If you like onions, add about a tablespoon of finely chopped onions to the spread.
Some people also add a little sweet ground paprika for better flavor and color.
