- 227 grams Braunschweiger (liverwurst)
- 113 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Yellow onion
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Crackers or bread (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Braunschweiger and cream cheese. Let the ingredients soften to room temperature for easier mixing.
Finely mince the yellow onion and add 2 tablespoons to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the spread and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding a pinch of salt or more Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
