Quark spread with onion and sweet paprika is a simple spread based on an old home-style recipe that takes ten minutes to prepare. Mash the quark (farmer's cheese) with a fork and season it with a teaspoon of grated onion, salt, and sweet paprika. Sour cream makes it creamy and easy to spread; butter is optional. Serve it on fresh bread for breakfast or as a snack for guests.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Mash the quark with a fork, add about 1 teaspoon of grated onion, and stir to combine. Add more onion to taste, if desired.
Season with salt and sweet paprika.
Stir in the sour cream to make the spread creamy and easy to spread. Add the butter if desired; it is optional. Mix well and serve with bread.

Tip: First stir the paprika into a tablespoon of sour cream so it blends evenly into the quark without leaving red lumps.
