From La Cuchina:
Tortini della Clara (Clara's Little Pies) 2 c. all purpose flour salt 1/4 c. butter 1/2 lb. gruyere cheese 2 eggs 1-1/4 c. milk freshly ground pepper cinnamon Preheat the oven to 400F Sieve the flour and salt onto a pastry board. Cut the butter into very small cubes and leave it to soften. Then add it to the flour and knead roughly until the ingredients are blended. The less you work the dough the lighter the result. Make the dough into a ball; wrap it in a clean cloth or plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Cut the gruyere into small pieces. Use a fork to beat the eggs without whipping into a foam. Season lightly, add the milk and allow to stand. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Butter and flour 8 little round molds or mini quiche pans (I bought small Pyrex dishes for this), then line them with the dough. Use your fingers to lift and build up the pastry around the edges. Place pieces of gruyere in each mold. Cover them with the beaten egg/milk mixture. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and a light dusting of cinnamon. Arrange the molds on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and reduce the heat to 350F. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then remove the tarts from the molds. This is about as close to baking bread as I get. I admit that's not very close, and I haven't made these in years ![]() Jill |
