About the dish

Fine party tartlets from the chapter "Hot and cold small dishes." The puff pastry molds are pre-baked with paper and rice grains as blind-baking weights - a technique Erken uses throughout - and filled with an airy cheese cream of Swiss cheese, egg yolk and stiffly whipped cream.

    Line the molds

  2. 2

    Make the cheese cream

    Mix the finely cut cheese with the egg yolk, add salt and sugar and fold in the stiffly whipped cream.

Frequently asked questions

Why are paper and rice grains placed in the molds?
It is an old method of pre-baking: buttered paper and rice grains hold the puff pastry down so the base does not rise. The molds are pre-baked 10 minutes in a hot oven, then the paper and rice are removed before the filling is poured in.
What does the filling consist of?
60 g finely cut Swiss cheese mixed with 1 egg yolk, a knife-tip of salt and a knife-tip of sugar, plus ¼ liter stiffly whipped cream.
How long are the filled tartlets baked?
About 15 minutes in the oven after the cream is filled into the pre-baked molds. In total the recipe reckons around 60 minutes including working the puff pastry.
How much puff pastry is needed?
Puff pastry made from ¼ kg butter, shaped in small fluted molds. The recipe serves 6 and is taken from Henriette Schønberg Erken's Stor kokebok (1914), p. 30.
