A Cheesecake With A Twist: This 17th Century Cheese Tart Is More Savory Than Sweet!

Similar in texture to what we’d now call a cheesecake, this cheese tart actually features a decent helping of parmesan cheese, giving it a much more savory flavor.

We just love these 17th-18th century recipes, so we were so excited to find this video from Jas. Townsend & Son, Inc., featuring a 17th century cheese tart! Similar in texture to what we’d now call a cheesecake, this cheese tart actually features a decent helping of parmesan cheese, giving it a much more savory flavor. The recipe, which you can find here, comes from William Rabisha’s The Whole Body of Cookery Dissected from 1682! So check out the video below, give it a try, and let us know what you think!
