Halloumi tart

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 250 g soft flour
  • 150 g butter, cut in cubes in room temperature
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 tbsp water

For the filling:</p

  • 200 g DODONI Greek Yoghurt
  • 100 g DODONI Halloumi cheese
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 orange pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp hazelnuts
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 20 Cherry tomatoes
  • Mint leaves (optional)

Process

  1. In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt and butter cut in small pieces. Work the butter into the flour until it resembles wet sand.
  2. Then add the sugar, egg and water.
  3. Knead until it becomes a soft dough. Wrap it in parchment paper and refrigerate for half an hour.
  4. After half an hour, take the dough out of the fridge, place it between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll out with a rolling pin.
  5. Transfer the dough to a tart pan and use your fingers to press it up the sides of the pan, making room for the filling.
  6. Pierce the dough with a fork all over the bottom and place the parchment paper with the pulses on top to weight the crust down as it bakes.
  7. Bake at 180 °C for 10 minutes.
  8. Prepare the filling by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl.
  9. The Yoghurt comes first, followed by peppers, eggs, hazelnuts, paprika and Halloumi, shredded on a grater.
  10. Take the crust out of the oven, remove the pie weights, add the filling, decorate with the cherry tomatoes cut in half and bake at 160 °C for 25 more minutes, or until the filling thickens.
  11. Serve lukewarm and not straight out of the oven.

Tip: To weigh down your crust, use pulses such as chickpeas, lentils or rice in a sheet of parchment paper.
