Cervelle de Canut (French cream cheese spread with wine) image

A French spread from the Burgundy region. The original recipe asks for quark, a German/French soft curd cheese, but it will work with cottage cheese as well. Serve the spread with fresh toast. The preparation time does not include the 4 hours needed to strain the cottage cheese.
