Cream Cheese Tart
Ingredients
- 8 oz rich shortcrust pastry
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- 4 oz dried apricots
- 4 oz unsalted butter softened
- 4 oz sugar
- pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Roll out the pastry and line a flan tin.
- Bake blind for 10 - 15 minutes at 200°C, 400°F, mark 6.
- Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 190°C, 375°F, mark 5.
- Cream together the butter, cheese and sugar.
- Beat in the eggs and the nutmeg. Add the chopped fruit if you are using it.
- Pour into the pastry case and bake in the top half of the oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Serve immediately, puffed and browned, or turn out upside down on a wire cake rack to cool.
- This prevents the cheese from shrinking too much and at the same time makes an attractive pattern on the top of the flan.
