Servings: 6
Calories: 145kcal
Ingredients
- 2 scallions/green onions
- 150 g low-fat Camembert 5.5 oz, Note
- 200 g low-fat cream cheese 1 cup/ 7 oz
- 1 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika powder
- fine sea salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the scallions into smaller pieces. Process them for 1 or 2 seconds in the kitchen machine.
- Add the Camembert cut into chunks, the cream cheese, sweet ground paprika, a little salt, and pepper. Don't add too much salt at first; taste the finished bread spread and add more if necessary.
- Process for a few seconds until the Camembert is finely chopped; the spread should remain a bit chunky; it really should not become a paste.
- To make the dip without a food processor, chop the scallions finely and place them into a bowl.
- Chop the Camembert very finely as well, crush it slightly with a fork to make it a bit finer, and add it to the bowl together with the cream cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust the taste with more spices.
- Serve with soft pretzels, on any kind of bread, or as a dip for raw vegetables.
Notes
You can use full-fat Camembert and cream cheese if you wish.
