- 2 tbsp Caraway Seeds
- 2 tbsp Chives (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce (soy sauce may be substituted)

This should be prepared at least 1 day ahead of time before serving for best results.
Mix the cottage cheese with just enough light cream to make a spreading consistency. Stir in salt, black pepper, caraway seeds, chives, and worcestershire sauce. Put into a container with a lid that seals real well. When ready to serve, spread evenly on a slice of rye bread and garnish with a slice of stuffed olive.
