Egg tarte with tomato, selles sur cher, shaved Berkswell, scallion and chili pepper.

Another cracker-like tarte shell topped with a mishmash of random things from my fridge. The idea was to slightly cook the egg on the tarte, pop the yolk half way through cooking and spread it around as it was tomato sauce on a pizza. I was dumb and cracked the egg before cooking the crust a little, it slid right off! Egg overboard!

I made a barrier of sliced tomatoes to keep the egg from sliding around. I broiled it for 3 minutes, popped the crust bubbles and spread the mooshy egg bits around before I threw on the rest of the toppings. 3 more minutes of intense overhead heat and it was done!

I didn’t know what to expect from this recipe. I’ve been fascinated by pizza-like things that are not pizza dough. Good thing I read the whole recipe before I started because there is a missing ingredient from the list, yogurt! I think my onions weren’t as big, so the tart itself wasn’t very onion-y. This would have been perfect with a scoop of creme fraiche and lemon zest on the side. It’s really filling, I could only shovel 2 pieces into my mouth. They also survived a night in the fridge and fried up nicely with an egg.

Assorted Westfield Capri cheesecakes

I had a huge amount of Westfield farm capri chevre. I went to their site and stumbled upon a collection of recipes. The most fascinating was the goat cheesecakes! Because I’m crazy and can’t just let anything be plain, I made little cup versions. Clockwise, starting at the top middle: cherry cinnamon, walnut, Szechuan pepper, apricot, sesame and sherry vinegar. The cherry cinnamon cake was perfect with a scoop of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia.
