Time 40m

Yield 1 pie, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
1 1/2 cups grated colby-monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup roasted red pepper (fresh or from a jar)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 can chopped green chili
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Remove one crust from pouch and place on ungreased cookie sheet, pressing out fold lines.
  • Mix all ingredients well, except for the cilantro.
  • Spread on crust to within about an inch of the edge.
  • Fold the edges over and flute.
  • Bake 25 to 40 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  • Sprinkle with the cilantro and let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your tart. Opt for flavorful and creamy cheeses like brie, cheddar, or goat cheese.
  • Prepare the dough in advance: For a flaky and crispy crust, make the dough ahead of time and chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Blind-bake the tart crust: Before filling the tart, pre-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes to prevent it from becoming soggy. This will also help the crust to hold its shape.
  • Don't overfill the tart: The tart should be filled to about 3/4 full to prevent it from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the tart until the cheese is set: The baking time will vary depending on the type of cheese you use. Generally, the tart is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

With its creamy cheese filling and flaky crust, a cheese tart is a delightful appetizer or light meal. It's perfect for special occasions or everyday enjoyment. Experiment with different types of cheese and toppings to create a tart that suits your taste. Whether you prefer a classic cheese tart or something more adventurous, this versatile dish is sure to please.
