Ingredients
- 8 oz Jones Braunschweiger
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the Jones Braunschweiger and cream cheese from the refrigerator and allow them to soften at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, unwrap the Braunschweiger and cream cheese, breaking them into smaller chunks to facilitate easier mixing.

- Add the Dijon mustard and onion powder to the mixture, continuing to blend until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dip has a consistent, creamy texture.
- Taste the dip and season with salt and pepper as desired, mixing thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together, or serve immediately with crackers, raw vegetables, or toasted bread.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Allow your Braunschweiger and cream cheese to soften at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This ensures a smoother, more easily blended consistency.
- Mixing Technique: Use an electric mixer for the smoothest texture, but if you prefer, a sturdy whisk can work well. Be sure to scrape down the bowl's sides to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Flavor Enhancement: Taste and adjust seasonings gradually. The onion powder and Dijon mustard provide a robust flavor, but personal preferences vary.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: While you can serve the dip immediately, letting it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop a more complex taste profile.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a variety of dippers like crisp crackers, fresh vegetable sticks, toasted baguette slices, or even as a unique sandwich spread.
