Körözött (Kenyér Nélkül)
Liptauer Cheese Spread (without Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no bread or crackers. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rich and flavorful cheese spread made from cottage cheese or túró (farmer's cheese), butter, Hungarian paprika, finely minced onion, caraway seeds, and various other spices. Traditionally served with fresh bread, the keto version is enjoyed on its own or with low-carb vegetable sticks.
Key ingredients
Cottage cheese (or túró), butter, paprika (sweet and/or hot), onion, caraway seeds, salt, pepper, sometimes mustard or anchovy paste.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no bread or crackers. Ask for cucumber or bell pepper slices if desired. Confirm no sugar is added, which is rare but possible in some commercial versions.
