Cheese tart: the easy recipe
No Reviews
A recipe for a regional pastry, light and fragrant.
Ingredients
150 Flour
75 Butter
1 pinch Salt
Water
200 Fresh cheese
100 Sugar
4 Egg
50 Potato starch
1 Yeast
Vanilla flavoring
Directions
1
Prepare a shortcrust pastry by mixing flour, butter, and salt, then kneading well (add water if necessary) until you obtain a smooth ball of dough. Let it rest.
2
Mix the cheese with the sugar, then incorporate the egg yolks, cornstarch, baking powder, vanilla flavoring, and finally the whipped egg whites.
3
Roll out the dough at the bottom of a semi-spherical mold (a mixing bowl works well if you do not have the traditional clay dish), ensuring that all the edges are covered evenly.
4
Pour the cheese mixture into the mold.
5
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes. The top should be slightly burned, in a thin layer.
6
Finally, let cool (and deflate a bit!) for a few moments before enjoying.

Very good but not cooked enough. I should have read the comments beforehand. It’s very good, but the center is gooey. The oven needs to be significantly hotter, I think. I will try again. My suggestion: Make the oven significantly hotter at least at the beginning. -

Oven Advice I haven't tried this recipe, but for sure, the oven is not hot enough! And the top should be much darker than in the photo... My suggestion: Preheat the oven to 280° or even 300°C, if your oven can reach that temperature. Then bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. After that, turn off the oven and let the cake remain warm in the oven for about 30 minutes! Don't worry if the top cracks or splits! The top is darkened, but unlike store-bought versions, it doesn't have a burnt taste! -

with or without cheese I would like to make the recipe, but I don't have cheese. Can it be done with regular cottage cheese, and if so, what modifications should be made? More cooking time? Thank you. -

First attempt unsuccessful I am from the Poitou-Charentes region, so I know about this dish... I used a charlotte mold for the container and followed the recipe exactly. The cooking time was not long enough; the dish only rose 1 cm at the top, the center resembled a flan, and the bottom was very compact. My suggestion: I will try again with more yeast, I will bake the dough blind before adding the filling, and I will increase the cooking time. -

I didn't read the reviews before trying this recipe. Result: a flan instead of a cake. The dough did not rise and was not porous. What a disappointment!
