Smoked Paprika Spread
Made with a butter and cream cheese base, sun-dried tomatoes, and smoked paprika—a ground powder from wood-smoked Spanish sweet red peppers.
Yield: 1 3/4 cups
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Challenge Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) Challenge Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon pressed or finely minced garlic*
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup chopped sun dried tomato (not packed in oil)
Instructions
- Have butter and cream cheese at room temperature. Cream together.
- Blend in salt, paprika, garlic and onion.
- Stir in sun dried tomatoes.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Spread on crackers, bagels or bread.

Use semi-moist pieces of sun dried tomatoes that are not packed in oil. Color of spread intensifies over time. Serve in bowl or ramekin with crackers, bagels, or bread.
