Cups - Metric

Instructions

  • Prepare your ingredients: place everything on the work surface and measure out the exact amounts. Remove the butter, sour cream and cream cheese from the refrigerator in advance so they can warm to room temperature.
  • Cut 8 ounces Romadur into small cubes. Peel and finely chop ½ medium onion.
  • In a large bowl, combine 3 ½ ounces cream cheese, 2 Tablespoons sour cream, and 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter. Add the cubed Romadur, chopped onion, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground. Stir well until everything is evenly blended.
  • Taste the spread and season with salt. Add the salt gradually, as cheeses can vary in saltiness. If the mixture feels too thick, stir in a little more sour cream until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
  • Let the spread rest at room temperature for a short while to allow the flavors to come together, and serve.

Notes

  • The basic recipe makes 6 portions.
  • SERVING: Enjoy Romadur spread on fresh bread with parsley or chives, and add onion, tomato, bell pepper, or cucumber for extra color. In the Czech Republic, it is a favorite snack or light dinner. 
  • Let the spread sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
  • Storage: Keep in the fridge and enjoy within 2–3 days. Make it a day ahead for deeper flavor. Stir if liquid separates.
  • Freezing: Not recommended as the texture and taste will change.
  • Try this flavor twist: Add a pinch of caraway seeds for a subtle, earthy note typical of Czech cooking.
