Ancient Roman Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Sift the flour in a bowl.
  • Beat the cheese until it is soft and stir it into the flour along with the egg.
  • Form a soft dough and divide into four.
  • Mould each one into a bun and place them on a greased baking tray with a fresh bay leaf underneath.
  • Heat the oven to 425F or 220C. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until they are golden brown.
  • Warm the honey and place the warm cakes in it so that they absorb it fully.
  • Allow to stand for 30 minutes before serving.

    I have to tell you I made this dish and added a spin to it, I cut the honey in half and made a savory version, topped with a ground lamb sauce, it was wonderful! I also made this in place of my NY cheesecake that I usually make and it got huge raves! Thanks for posting this!

    mint might be good the bay leaves were part of the original recipe but I'm sure all good roman housewives of the time altered it to suit themselves just like us today.
