Feta Cheese Tart

Ingredients: 

This recipe belongs to my mom. I just cannot get enough of it since I was a kid. Easy to make and makes you remember and feel like at home, wherever you are.

For the Dough (Crust)
  • 125 gr butter
  • 10 heaped tablespoons of flour 
  • heaped tablespoons of yogurt
  • 1 sugarspoon of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
For the Filling
  • 250gr of heavy whipping cream 
  • 300-400gr mashed Feta Cheese
  • Half a bouquet of chopped fresh dill
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 egg
Directions:
  1. Mix the ingredients and prepare the dough. Set 6-8 small pieces aside to make strips.
  2. Grease the baking pan with butter and roll the dough out into a pie crust.
  3. Combine the whipping cream, dill and cheese together and pour the filling onto the crust.
  4. Roll the small pieces of dough into thin strips and place them cross ways on the filling, attaching them to the crust.
  5. At a separate bowl, whisk the milk and egg and pour it over the filling.
  6. Preheat the oven to 340 Fº (~170 Cº) and cook about 40min until the filling is set and crust is golden brown.
Tips:
  1. A regular 9inch-size baking/pie pan might be smaller for this dough.  An 11inch round baking pan or something similar in size would work better.
  2. The dough might feel a little sticky and that's normal. Add flour if it's too sticky too handle.
