Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Take the butter out of the fridge and let it soften at room temperature for 30 minutes, until you can easily press it with a finger.
- Whip the soft butter with a food processor or fork until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cream cheese or grated cheese, paprika, salt, lemon juice and garlic and mix until smooth.
- Season with salt and paprika to taste. Chill the cream for 15 minutes so it firms up a little.
- Spread thickly on bread slices or split rolls, sprinkle with chives and serve at once, or store covered in the fridge for 3 days.
