Frequently Asked Questions About Pastrami cream cheese
What is pastrami cream cheese?
Pastrami cream cheese is a spread made by mixing cream cheese with chopped pastrami; the name here refers to Turkish pastırma, a cured, seasoned beef. It combines a tangy, creamy base with the meat’s savory, spiced flavor.
How do you make pastrami cream cheese at home?
To make pastrami cream cheese, fold finely chopped Turkish pastırma into softened cream cheese until evenly mixed. Add the meat gradually so you can control the flavor and keep the spread easy to scoop.
How do you serve pastrami cream cheese on a bagel?
Spread pastrami cream cheese over a split bagel and add fresh cucumber or tomato for contrast. The cured beef is already salty and strongly seasoned, so taste the finished bagel before adding salt or other savory toppings.
Can you use pastrami cream cheese in a sandwich?
Yes, pastrami cream cheese works as a sandwich spread and pairs well with leafy greens, tomato, or sliced cucumber. Use it in place of both plain cream cheese and a separate meat filling for a quick, savory sandwich.
Can pastrami cream cheese be used as a dip?
Yes, serve pastrami cream cheese as a cold dip with crackers, breadsticks, or crisp vegetables. Let it soften slightly in the refrigerator before serving so it is easier to scoop, and stir it to redistribute the chopped pastırma.
Can you cook with pastrami cream cheese?
Yes, you can stir pastrami cream cheese into warm pasta or a sauce, but avoid boiling it hard. High heat can make cream cheese separate, so add it near the end and loosen the mixture with a little cooking water.
What can you substitute for pastrami cream cheese?
A close substitute for pastrami cream cheese is plain cream cheese mixed with finely chopped Turkish pastırma. If pastırma is unavailable, use another seasoned cured beef, but the result will taste different because its spices and curing vary.
Does pastrami cream cheese need to be refrigerated?
Yes, keep pastrami cream cheese refrigerated, including after opening. Return it promptly after serving, use a clean utensil each time, and follow the package’s storage and use-by directions to keep the dairy-and-meat spread safe.
Can you freeze pastrami cream cheese?
You can freeze pastrami cream cheese, but it may turn grainy or watery after thawing because cream cheese does not always keep its texture well. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir before using it in a cooked dish.
Why does pastrami cream cheese taste so salty?
Pastrami cream cheese can taste quite salty because the pastırma is a cured, seasoned meat and cream cheese adds a rich base without masking that flavor. Pair it with unsalted bread or fresh vegetables rather than adding extra salty toppings.

What is Pastrami cream cheese?
Pastırmalı krem peynir combines spreadable cream cheese with pastırma, a Turkish cured, air-dried beef coated in spices and çemen. It is not the same as pastrami: the name on this page uses “pastrami,” but the Turkish food is pastırma. The creamy base softens the meat’s bold, savoury flavour, while the pastırma gives the spread a gently spiced edge.
Spread it on toast or a bagel, or serve it with crackers as a snack or part of a brunch spread. It is rich in fat and provides some protein; the cured meat can also make it quite salty. A thin layer with sliced cucumber, tomato or fresh herbs makes for a fresher, lighter pairing.
