Loading...Variations of this spread can be traced to Hungary and Germany. Some versions of this spread call for cream cheese rather than cottage cheese. Cottage cheese makes a more rustic version of this spread. Making this spread ensured that there would be a little ‘cocktail time’ before our holiday dinner.
