📝 Ingredients
Ingredient Amount
Eggs 2
Milk 1 cup
Puff pastry 250 grams
Wheat flour 2 Tbsp
Cheese fondue dough (pre-made) 400 grams
Butter (for greasing) To taste
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Guide
1. Make the Filling Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk flour and milk until silky smooth—no lumps allowed. This will give you that luxuriously creamy filling.
2. Blend in the Good Stuff
Add the eggs and whisk until fully combined. Then stir in the cheese fondue dough until everything becomes one rich, cheesy mixture.
Tip: No fondue dough? Melt Gruyère or Emmental into a thick, saucy consistency for a perfect substitute.
3. Prep the Crust
Grease a removable-bottom cake pan generously with butter. Line it with puff pastry, pressing it snugly along the base and up the sides. Trim off any excess and gently prick the bottom with a fork to keep it from puffing unevenly.
4. Assemble the Cake
Pour the cheese filling into the pastry shell and spread it evenly across the surface.
🔥 Bake to Golden Perfection
5. Into the Oven
Preheat to 428°F (220°C). Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set but creamy.
Tip: If the top browns too fast, loosely tent with foil for the final 10 minutes.
6. Rest and Serve
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Carefully remove the sides of the pan and plate for a stunning reveal.
Serving Idea: Try individual portions using small tart pans for a chic twist at parties or gatherings.
This cake is comfort and elegance wrapped in buttery layers. Would you like me to create a savory dessert pairing for it—maybe something with a little fig or walnut to play off that cheese filling? 🧁🧂
