Instructions

  1. Score the tomatoes crosswise opposite the stalk and scald with boiling water. Then put the tomatoes in cold water. Now you can easily remove the skin from the tomatoes with a fruit knife. Quarter the tomatoes and remove the seeds and the liquid from the inside, dice the tomato fillets with a knife.
  2. Chop the parmesan into small pieces with the chopper. Press the garlic cloves. Remove the stems from the basil and cut into small pieces with a knife.
  3. Mix all ingredients with the cottage cheese and cream cheese in a bowl and season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
  4. Let the spread steep for at least an hour.
  5. The spread on baked flatbread or baguette is particularly delicious.
