Cream Cheese Tart
Ingredients
- 250g Flour
- 125g Butter
- 1 Egg
- Pinch Salt
- 300g Cheese
- 100ml milk Milk
- 3 Eggs
- 100g Parmesan Cheese
- 350g Plum tomatoes
- 3tbsp White Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- Topping Basil
Instructions
- Start by making the crust. In a bowl, combine the flour, butter, egg, and a pinch of salt. Knead briefly to form a smooth dough. Press the dough evenly into a tart tin, covering the base and sides. Place the tin in the refrigerator to chill.
- While the crust is chilling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, stir the cream cheese and milk until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese, then season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
- Remove the crust from the refrigerator and prick the base with a fork to prevent it from puffing up. Pour the filling into the crust and smooth the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for about 25 minutes. After half the baking time, cover the tart loosely with aluminium foil to prevent over-browning.
- Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes. In a small pan, heat the olive oil with the white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine. Pour the warm dressing over the sliced tomatoes and mix gently.
- Once the tart is baked, spoon the tomato slices over the top, avoiding excess liquid. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve warm or slightly cooled.
