Cheese and Chive Tart Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Grease a deep loose-based fluted flan (tart) tin measuring 8 inches across the base.
  • Melt half the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and gradually whick in the cream and sour cream.
  • Return to the heat and whisk constantly (so it doesnt become gritty) until the mixture boils and thickens. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to cool slightly. Whisk in the cheese, chives, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper.
  • Melt the remaining butter and brush some over each sheet of pastry. Fold each one in half and use to line the tin, allowing the edges to over hang.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then stir a spoonful into the cheese mixture to loosen it up a little. Gently fold in the rest. Spoon the mixture into the pastry shell and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Serve immediatly.
