Chop and pound cheese in a mortar. Add the other ingredients and make a spreadable paste. Make a pastry tart case, about 25cm (10inches) diameter – you can use a tart tin if easier – and thin pastry lid. Fill the case with cheese, cream, egg and butter mixture, then put on the pastry lid – seal and glaze with egg yolks. Bake at 220°C/gas mark 6 for 40 minutes or until golden.

Essa tarte é chamada de tarte da Quaresma, porque é feita com ingredientes proibidos durante a Quaresma, no século XVI, em Inglaterra, como queijo e natas.

Faça uma caixa de tarte, com cerca de 25 cm de diâmetro - pode usar uma forma de tarte, se for mais fácil. Encha a caixa com a mistura de queijo, natas, ovo e manteiga e, em seguida, coloque a tampa da massa - feche e polvilhe com as gemas. Asse em forno a 220 ° C / marca de gás 6, por 40 minutos ou até dourar.
