What is Hungarian cheese dip?

Hungarian cheese dip is called Körözött. It’s a really easy and popular snack that is usually made with something called farmer’s cheese. However, cottage cheese is extremely similar and is usually used instead. Hungarian cuisine uses a lot of paprika, so make sure to include plenty in your cheese dip. The peppery flavor pairs with the tangy flavor of the cheese perfectly.

Storage and serving tips

For a smoother dip, serve right after making it. It will be slightly chilled and easy to scoop. For a firmer dip, chill it in your refrigerator. You can mold the dip into a domed shape and the cottage cheese will hold its place for a little bit. For storing leftovers, refrigerate the dip for up to three days. However, it’s so easy and quick to make this recipe, you may want to just make the dip fresh every time.

Other ingredients to add

Traditionally, some other ingredients might be added to Hungarian cheese dip. Onion is a popular flavor, so try diced red onion or scallions. To enhance the peppery flavor of the paprika, you can also add diced red bell pepper to the dip. That being said, you can really incorporate many types of diced Keto veggies or add other seasonings to your taste.
