Butter

100 g

●

All-Purpose Flour

1 cup

●

Yellow cheese

100 g

Egg

1 piece

you will only use the yolk

Step by step

Step 1

Rub the flour well with soft butter until it crumbles.

Step 2

Then add the cheese given through the medium grater.

Step 3

Add the yolk and salt, mix everything well until the dough is formed.

Step 4

Wrap the dough thus formed in a bag and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Step 5

After 30 minutes, take it out of the fridge and spread it out on a 7-8 mm thick sheet. With a glass cut the dough slices and put these slices in the tart trays. The trays should be greased with a little oil.

Press well with your hands so that the dough sticks to the walls of the trays.

Step 6

Put all the trays in a larger tray and bake at medium temperature.

Step 7

Leave in the oven until golden brown, then remove them and with the help of a towel shake them on a bottom or sheet and remove the baskets from the trays.

If you let them cool it will be harder to remove them from the trays because the cheese sticks and hardens.
