Vern's Obatzda-Style Cheese image

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!

Time 2h45m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
16 ounces Camembert cheese, rind removed and cheese cut into pieces
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 (5 ounce) package grated Parmesan cheese
3 ounces shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup German-style beer
¼ cup butter
½ cup minced onion
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
½ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bring all the refrigerated ingredients to room temperature.
  • Slice the top off the garlic, exposing the cloves. Place in a square of aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil over garlic. Wrap foil around garlic.
  • 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. The mixture may be a little on the "soupy" side but will firm up upon refrigeration; transfer to an air-tight container and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 2 hours.

I'm not a big fan of this recipe. I found the obatzda to be too bland for my taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my obatzda turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much butter.

This obatzda is so creamy and flavorful. I love spreading it on crackers or using it as a dip for vegetables.

This recipe is a great starting point for making obatzda. I like to add a little bit of chopped onion and chives to mine for extra flavor.

Obatzda is a Bavarian cheese delicacy that is typically served as a spread on bread or pretzels. This recipe from AliceRecipes is a great introduction to this classic dish.
