Liptauer

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and provides a different flavor profile.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: plain yogurt

💰Cheaper: creme fraiche

Plain yogurt offers similar tanginess with fewer calories.

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: frozen herbs

Dried herbs are more cost-effective and have a longer shelf life.

Whisk the butter with the cream cheese until combined and fluffy (best would be to use a mixer to whisk the butter and cheese).

Mix with the remaining ingredients for Liptauer: mustard, tomato paste, paprika powder, caraway seeds (ground them in pestle and mortar or food processor or coffee grinder), garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish: finely chop the bell pepper, cornichons, and capers, mix together, spoon over the Liptauer.

Enjoy!
