Ingredients

▢ 8 ounces cream cheese - at room temperature
▢ 3 tablespoons butter - room temperature
▢ 4 ounces brie or camembert cheese - cut in small cubes
▢ 1 teaspoon garlic salt
▢ 1 /2 to 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
▢ 1 tablespoon beer
▢ 2 tablespoons green onions or chives
▢ 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

Instructions

Use a mixer to beat cream cheese and butter until well mixed.
Add in garlic salt and paprika and beer. Add enough paprika until cream cheese turns a light orange color.
Mix in brie cheese cubes by hand. Use a fork and mash some of the brie into the cream cheese mixture.
Cover and refrigerate a few hours. Serve with sliced red onions and green onion on top. Great with warm soft pretzels and crackers for dipping.

Notes

This is a traditional German cheese dip served with pretzels and on meat and cheese boards at restaurants in Munich and Bavaria. It’s so delicious! Sometimes I double this recipe. I like to make this ahead and refrigerate at least a few hours before serving. Keeps in the fridge for a few days. This is a favorite on my culinary trips to Germany every year! I plan and host an annual Christmas market trip to Germany every December and a Danube River cruise trip that starts in Munich every year! Join me!
