Method

Let the brie¹ and butter² come to room temperature.
Finely dice the onion⁴ and mash the za’atar with your fingers or a spoon.
Mash the brie¹ with a fork until it forms a rough paste with the butter² and cream³ cheese.
Add the onion⁴, paprika, za’atar, beer, salt, and pepper.
Mix well, let sit for 5 minutes, and serve with pretzels or rye bread.

Tips

Why it works: Bring the brie and butter to room temperature so the mixture is smooth and doesn't separate from the cold. If they are cold, the spread will be lumpy.
Substitutions: Instead of light beer, use 15 ml of dry white wine or 10 ml of kefir for tang. Replace the onion with 20 g of green onion for a milder taste.
Common mistakes: If the spread is too runny, you added too much beer or too little salt. Check the consistency 2 minutes after mixing.
Storing and reheating: Keep in the fridge for 2 days, tightly covered. Reheat in a pan for 2 minutes or in the microwave for 30 seconds, adding 5 g of butter.
Serve with: Serve with warm pretzels for breakfast or as a beer snack on a festive table with radishes and cucumbers.
