Fromager charentais
(Cheese Cake)
Flaky pastry:
250g of flour
125g of butter
1 egg-yolk
A bit of salt
1 or 2 spoons of water
2 fresh goat cheeses
6 eggs
250g of sugar
2 bags of vanilla sugar
Prepare the pastry, 3 or 4 hours
in advance. Pour the flour on a board. Make a hole and add the salt, the
pieces of butter, the egg and the spoon of fresh water. Quickly knead while
adding another spoon of water if it proves necessary. Roll the pastry in
a ball and let it rest in the fridge.
Roll the pastry down and make it very thin. Put it in a buttered tart pan.
In a salad bowl, mix the egg-yolks with a whip. Add sugar and the goat cheeses
until you have a homogeneous mixture. Whip egg whites until they are stiff
and blend them in slowly. Add vanilla sugar. Mix well. Pour the preparation
on the pastry. Cook it in the oven at medium temperature (th 7, 35 to 45
minutes). After 30 minutes check with a knife blade. The top should be brown.
