Liptauer – Bread Spread
from Thomas Sixt
Hi, I am a German Chef and Food Photographer. The imparting of cooking knowledge is my great passion. Everyone can cook for himself and with this website I would like to contribute to its success. Cooking questions I answer you gladly at the end of the articles. Have fun and good luck!
Today I’ll show you my Liptauer recipe. I really like Liptauer. Homemade cheese tastes best.
I prefer to refine this spread with crispy herbs and short fried vegetables.
The Liptauer is a classic spread from Austria and resembles the Obazda from Bavaria. All these spreads, like the potato cheese, the vegan lard and the herb quark, go well with a good snack and bring variety for dinner.
The preparation takes about 25 minutes. I wish you every success and look forward to your comments.

1. Prepare Liptauer Spread yourself
Is it worth the effort? In Austria you can buy the Liptauer from different manufacturers in the supermarket. Nevertheless, the homemade Liptauer still tastes best!
Today I will show you an extraordinary Liptauer recipe with lots of vegetables. Here, fried herbs are added to the bread as topping. The result is really colorful and tastes great!
2. Shopping list
For homemade Liptauer you need:
- quark, in Austria means topfen… Ideal would be sheep quark and normal quark half/half
- shallots
- salt and pepper
- sweet paprika
- Dijon mustard
- caraway
- peppers red, yellow, green
- optional anchovies and capers
- rosemary
- oil for deep frying
Bread, fresh brown bread or farmer’s bread, grain bread, pumpernickel, baguette, toast, rye bread or home-baked bread according to your wishes.
You can find the exact ingredients below in the Liptauer recipe.
3. Heurigen Spread, “Gypsy Spread” particularly tasty
Add freshly roasted peppers to the Liptov spread. You can quickly prepare the vegetables, fry them in the pan and then serve with the cheese.
Before adding the pepper cubes to the pan, fry a few needles of rosemary. The fragrant and crispy rosemary is a fantastic addition to this preparation!
