Answer 5

"Obazda" is a very popular snack. It's sky high in calories, but it's great. It's made with Camembert cheese (really really ripe Camembert cheese) or Brie cheese (also very ripe = soft) and Münster cheese (a kind of similar cheese to the Camembert or Brie, but it's red on the outside).

Anyway, you take one Camembert or Brie (150 -200g) and half a Münster cheese (50 -100g), and break/cut them into small pieces. In the original recipe, you than mix butter and Quark with it, but 1.: I never use butter, so I'm not fond of that, and 2.: you won't be able to buy "Quark" in a store if you are in the US. So I suggest you simply use a pack of fresh, plain or chives-flavored cream cheese, which should do the trick just as well. Than you add 2 tablespoons of cream, salt, pepper, powdered paprika (sweet and spicy) or, if you can't find that/dont know what I mean, use a little (!) powdered chilli. Than you mix all of it, until you have one mass. It will look a little chunky (the chunks shouldn't be too big), and it looks a little speckled, as the cheese "crust" will show in places (you mix it in with the rest, you don't take it off), but that's fine. The chunks shouldn't be too big, though.

You can decorate it in any way you want or just serve it in a bowl, but if you cool it down for a couple of hours, you can make a different kind of "cheese hedgehog" from the one the other answered desribed. Just cover a bowl with sticking foil and but the "obazda"-mass in it, smoothing the surface and let it cool. Than, when you want to serve it, get it out the fridge and turn it upside down, take the foil off and stick the small, crispy pretzel sticks in it until it looks like a hedgehog or pin cushion.

You might also put onion rings and chopped chives next to it/ on top of it (if you serve it in a bowl). Some people add the onions finely chopped to the mass, but if it sits for a while, the onions make it taste kind of sulfuric, so I'd not recommend doing that.

P.S.: You did not say how old you are, so I add this for REFERENCE ONLY!!!

In the areas of Germany where wine is grown, instead of the cream people usually add wine as a fluid. The Bavarian recipe adds beer (and not only two tablespoons), but every recipe tastes great, no matter if it is made with cream, beer or wine.

Some people also add whole cumin to the "Obazda" mix, but that is up to you.

Brez'n (Pretzels), pretzel sticks, rye bread or crackers are usually served with it. In Bavaria, one usually also serves small red radishes or sliced and salted white raddish with it.

Have fun at your party!
