Tarte Au Fromage

"This is a recipe from my greatgrandmother. So I can assure you it's pretty old, so very traditional. This pie is eaten in the Brussel region in Belgium. It takes a some time to make, but it's definitely worth it!"

  1. In the US where I live now, you don't find "white cheese" I've tried to make my own "white cheese" with a curd maker, but that's going to great lengths.I guess it could be made with cream cheese - like Philadelphia. However, it won't be quite the same. My mom made that pie regularly - a favorite in my home town in Belgium. With the flour and cheese corrections it would be great, but the taste will never be exactly the same because of the difference of ingredients,cheese, vanilla sugar, and sugar. Still, it's worth the trouble as it would be awesome and rich as dessert or any gathering.
     
  2. This tarte can I think be magnificent. As the directions stand now, there are some errors--the amount of flour is way too low, particularly for that amount of yeast. The cheese is way too high--almost two pounds of cheese--I made it, doubling the flour and halving the cheese. The filling is delicious, the drust is almost there. I do believe that a bit of tweaking--perhaps even just transposition--amount of flour for amount of cheese--will result in a magnificent recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm the mother to two boys (Yaron °2002, Noah °2004) and I am happily married since 2000. I work as an administrative assistant in a primary school. I have liked cooking since I was a little girl, strangely enough, my mother never really enjoyed cooking, so I don't know where I am getting it from. Cooking is really taking a break for me (at least of my two boys will leave me to it). I try to involve my kids as much as possible in cooking and they already enjoy making cookies, cakes and popsicles. I like to bake so when it's their birthday I let them choose their favourite cake. This year I made a pirate ship for the youngest one and a treasure chest for my oldest. I am active in my children's school and I like to craft when there's time left, which isn't too much lately. Every night before I go to bed, I need to read at least a chapter in a book. It has become such a ritual that it is hard to sleep when I haven't. I do have quite a few cookbooks, but the ones I would miss the most if I'ld lost them (even if I don't make that much recipes out of them) are my great grandmothers cookbooks, which are partly just little pieces of paper with a recipe scribbled onto it. I also really like the cookbooks and tv-shows of Jamie Oliver and Nigela Lawson. I really like the countryside, even if I don't really live in it. (I live in a suburb of Bruges) My dream is to one day buy a small little farmhouse with just a few animals and a beautiful garden, where I could grow some veggies to can in summer. Well, one can dream can we... My pet peeves are agressive drivers, people who don't take others into consideration and who are selfish. <embed src="http://lilgreenpatch.com/fb/greentrees/badge/badge.swf?badgeId=593493549,0" quality="high" salign="lt" width="130" height="160" wmode="transparent" name="LGP" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/> </embed> <a href="http://lilgreenpatch.com/fb/greentrees/badge/badgelanding.php?badgeId=593493549,0&src=1" > <img src="http://greenpatch.s3.amazonaws.com/clear.gif" border="0" height="160" width="130" bgcolor="#00FF66"/> </a> <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10748;127/st/20080628/e/Going+to+Bretagne%2C+France/k/32aa/event.png"></a> <a href="http://lilypie.com"><img src="http://b5.lilypie.com/yoQbp1.png" alt="Lilypie 5th Birthday Ticker" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://lilypie.com"><img src="http://by.lilypie.com/3lmnp2.png" alt="Lilypie 6th to 18th Ticker" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://daisypath.com"><img src="http://dn.daisypath.com/i2lqp2.png" alt="DaisypathAnniversary Years Ticker" border="0" width="400" height="80" /></a> <a href="http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2025848">You are now marked on my visitor map!</a><a href="http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2025848"><img border=0 src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/2025848.png" alt="Visitor Map"></a><a href="http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a> Participation & Awards: <a href="http://s182.photobucket.com/albums/x11/texacorw/March%202008/?action=view¤t=thelorikeets.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x11/texacorw/March%202008/thelorikeets.gif" border="0" alt="March Aussie Tag Badge"></a> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/ZaarWorldTourPartBanner.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src=http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q138/mswarzie/banner2.gif> [img]http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u132/marlittmk/banner2.gif[/img] <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
