    hungarian spread with feta and a bowl of carrot soup behind

    Körözött - a simple Hungarian dip or appetizer with feta, cottage cheese, caraway seeds and paprika.

    Jump to Recipe

    This Hungarian dip is perfect as an appetizer served with vegetable sticks, crackers, or crispbread or as an everyday bread spread for breakfast or with a hot bowl of soup for dinner.

    Hungarian Dip or Spread with Feta, Paprika and Caraway Seeds

    What do you need?

    • Hungarian dip is normally made with typical Hungarian sheep cheese. However, since I am not able to buy that here, I have seen many recipes using feta, quark, or cottage cheese to replace those missing products.
    • Regular feta will do just fine, either cow's feta or, even better, sheep's feta. Just make sure you buy a block of feta and not already crumbled feta.
    • You can make the dip with cottage cheese or quark, not necessarily the lowest fat version. I usually buy the 4.5% fat cottage cheese or when I want to make a more decadent dip, I use the 20 % fat quark.
    • I've used both over the years and they are both great, the only noticeable difference is the consistency. The dip made with quark is slightly smoother.

    You will also need Hungarian sweet paprika powder, caraway seeds, a little sour cream/Greek yogurt, and milk to loosen the spread and about ½ of a small red onion (about 1 tablespoon finely chopped).

    How to serve Körözött?

    Serve as an appetizer with vegetables or on crackers, crispbread, or pumpernickel. Decorate with more paprika and herbs.

    Or serve it as part of a light main meal with a creamy soup. The soup in the pictures is this Creamy Carrot Soup with Milk. You can also have the Korozott with Carrot Soup with Ginger, Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup, or any other creamy vegetable soup you like.
