Tarte au Fromage, or Cheese Tart, is a classic French dish that epitomizes the simple elegance of French cuisine. This savory tart combines a flaky, buttery pastry crust with a rich and creamy cheese filling, often made with a blend of cheeses such as Gruyère, Emmental, and sometimes a hint of blue cheese for added depth. Infused with flavors of garlic, nutmeg, and a touch of white wine, the cheese mixture is poured into the tart shell and baked until golden and bubbling. It's a versatile dish that can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, and it is perfect for a light lunch, an appetizer, or part of a brunch spread. The finishing touch of fresh herbs adds both color and freshness to this indulgent and comforting tart. Description by ChatGPT.
