Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, combine the Bryndza, minced garlic, sour cream, most of the sliced spring onions (reserving some for garnish), and the caraway seeds. Mix everything together until it's well combined.
Bake
Transfer the cheese mixture into a small ovenproof dish or skillet. Smooth the top and sprinkle with a pinch of sweet paprika and a crack of black pepper. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture is hot, bubbling, and slightly golden on top.
Garnish and Serve
Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Garnish with the remaining sliced spring onions and fresh chives. Serve immediately while hot and gooey, with plenty of crusty bread, toast, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
