Hungarian Cottage Cheese Spread (Körözött)
Quick and delicious breakfast or dinner in a diet-friendly way
Ingredients
- 250 g low-fat curd cheese (cottage cheese)
- 80 g sour cream
- 1 teaspoon sweet red paprika powder (Hungarian)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- caraway seeds, to taste
- ½ red onion (about 50 g) or 2 spring onions
Instructions
- Finely chop the red onion. Salt it lightly and mix it with the salt. Let it sit for 5 minutes. (If using spring onion, salting is not necessary.)
- Place the cottage cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the sour cream and spices. Mix thoroughly. Finally, stir in the prepared onion.
- If you want to add egg whites, boil 2 eggs until hard. Remove the yolks. Cut the egg whites into small cubes and mix them into the cottage cheese mixture.
