Swiss Cheese Tartlets

Also known as Chäschüechli, this little hand-held tart is packed with flavor and is lovely served slightly warm, giving you the texture of the pastry, the seasoned custard, and the melted cheese. The secret is to use a blend of good-quality Swiss cheeses. This recipe uses a blend of Appenzeller (a herb-brined hard cheese) and Gruyère. Don’t be tempted to use generic ‘Swiss‘ cheese.
