Liptauer comes from Slovakia but I'm sure if asked, most Hungarian people would say it's a Hungarian speciality.The reason for this is because Liptau and the neighbourhood used to be a part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
My mum makes excellent Liptauer so I've never looked for a recipe in my life, just try to imitate that - sometimes with more, sometimes with less success, just as it is the case with grandma's recipes. They always taste "better" ;)
Liptauer
100g ewe's cheese (Bryndza)
250g curd cheese
100g soft unsalted butter (or a bit more if your cheeses are too dry)
1 tsp grated brown onion
1 clove of garlic, grated
paprika, ground pepper to taste
a hint of ground cumin
and carefully added salt (the amount depends on how salty your ewe's cheese is, you must be very careful or it turns out inedible - it has been the case with me before!)
Just beat everything thoroughly either by hand or in a KA. Serve with fresh bread and veggies if you please.

Your liptauer looks good :) I've made Nigella's one from NB, and I liked it so I'm sure I'd like yours. I'm not sure that I could get ewe's cheese though, will have to look.
I make a few of my Mum's recipes, but it's a bit scary in case they don't come out as well :) But practice makes perfect!
