Savory Cheese Tart Pinterest

Savory cheese tart recipe, savory cheese tart makes for quick and easy weekday meals just served with a salad and a few pickles, a great way to finish off those leftover small chunks of cheese too!

Savory cheese tart has always been a go to recipe in the family when the cheese box is full of small chunks of cheese that we no longer are keen on eating, preferring to start new different ones.

Well just grind them, add some store-bought grated cheese if needed, I always keep a few packs of assorted grated cheese in my fridge, and make a cheese tart!

You can also make your cheese tart from scratch using assorted melting cheese, like cheddar, Monterey Jack, a few chunks of blue cheese or goat cheese, or you can make it with only one sort of cheese.

  • Cheese we don’t use in this recipe: parmesan and mozzarella, not that you can’t use them, it’s just that we don’t.

Cheese tart is made of grated cheese and a quick flan like for a quiche, flan is made with 3 eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, salt and pepper, some nutmeg.

I also like to add a few bacon strips to my cheese tart for a smoky added flavor.

Serve with a mixed green salad, maybe a few pickles and you’ve got the easiest quickest meal in about 45 minutes.

For this savory cheese tart, I use indifferently puff pastry or pie crust, whichever I have on hand, with a preference for pie crust, just make sure that your dough is not too sweet.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and if you do, please leave me a comment and let me know how it went!
