Ingredients

• 200 g Camembert cheese made from raw or thermized milk ( ripe )
• 50 g Minimum butter sweet ( softened )
• 50 g Fresh cheese ( plain )
• 1 tsp Sweet paprika
• 2 tbsp Blonde beer
• 1 piece Onion ( finely diced )
• 4 piece Smoked raw ham ( thinly sliced )
• 8 piece Salami ( sliced )
• 100 g Liver sausage ( sliced )
• 150 g Emmental cheese ( in sticks )
• 6 piece Radish ( thinly sliced )
• 4 piece Sweet and sour gherkin ( halved )
• 4 piece Rye and wheat bread ( thick slices )
• 1 piece Chives fresh ( chopped )
• 2 tbsp Whole grain mustard
• 100 g Romadur cheese ( cut into small cubes )

Instructions

1. Preparing the Obatzda

   Mash the camembert with a fork in a bowl. Add the softened butter, cream cheese, paprika, and a splash of lager. Mix until the preparation is creamy but still has some cheese chunks. Stir in half of the finely chopped onion.

2. Cutting meats and cheeses

   Slice the Emmental into regular sticks and cut the Romadur into small cubes. Arrange the cured ham in ribbons to add volume. Cut the salami and liver sausage into clean slices.

3. Preparing the vegetables

   Slice the radishes as thinly as possible; they should be almost translucent and crunchy. Cut the pickles in half lengthwise.

4. Plating the board

   On a large wooden board, harmoniously arrange the meats, cheeses, and the bowl of Obatzda. Sprinkle with chopped chives and the remaining onion. Serve with the rye bread and old-fashioned mustard.

Chef's tips

• Take the camembert and butter out 2 hours before so they are perfectly soft.
• Obatzda tastes better if rested for 1 hour in the fridge to let the paprika flavors develop.
• If radishes feel dull, soak them in ice water for 10 minutes to make them ultra-crispy.

Storage

Obatzda can be stored for 48 hours in the fridge in an airtight container. Meats and vegetables should be eaten immediately once sliced.
