VERN'S OBATZDA-STYLE CHEESE
My version of an Obatzda cheese that is served with soft pretzels and washed down with good beer. I serve this at my annual Oktoberfest Party. Not a traditional obatzda, but a really tasty one!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bring all the refrigerated ingredients to room temperature.

- Roast in the preheated oven until garlic is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool roasted garlic completely.
- Combine Camembert cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, beer, and butter in a food processor; process until smooth. Add roasted garlic cloves, onion, caraway seeds, and paprika; process until smooth.

BAVARIAN CHEESE DIP (OBATZDA), GLUTEN FREE
Mostly this famous Bavarian cheese dip is made with beer. There is gluten free beer, but considering how expensiv it is, I wouldn't waste it for cheese dips... When I visited my friends near Munich lately, they told me that they actually make obatzda without beer. So this is it :-) If you want to keep the dip for some days, omit the shallot and serve with thinly sliced onion instead. Cooking time is refrigeration time.
