Ingredients- 1 Seoul Milk Gouda Cheese slice
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp milk
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gather and measure all ingredients needed for the egg tarts.
Step 2
In a bowl, place the egg yolk and add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix them together until the sugar is well dissolved into the yolk.
Step 3
Add the 1 slice of Seoul Milk Gouda Cheese to the bowl. If the cheese is large, you can cut it into smaller pieces beforehand for easier mixing.
Step 4
Gently mix the egg yolk, sugar, and Gouda cheese together. It’s important to stir until the cheese is smooth and well-combined, without lumps.
Step 5
Once the cheese starts to soften and break down smoothly, proceed to the next step.
Step 6
Pour in 3 tablespoons of milk and continue to mix until the cheese and egg yolk mixture becomes even smoother. The milk will loosen the consistency, making it easier to blend.
Step 7
It’s perfectly fine if there are a few small cheese lumps remaining. A slightly textured filling is actually quite nice in the tart.
Step 8
Trim the crusts off the 2 slices of bread. Then, using a rolling pin, flatten each slice as thinly as possible. This thinness is key for fitting them into the tart molds and achieving a crispy crust.
Step 9
Pour some cooking oil into a small bowl and prepare a pastry brush.
Step 10
Using the pastry brush, generously brush both sides of the flattened bread slices with cooking oil. This step ensures a wonderfully crispy tart shell.
Step 11
Thoroughly grease the inside of your tart molds or oven-safe ramekins with cooking oil. This prevents the bread tart shells from sticking.
Step 12
Carefully place the oiled bread slices into the prepared molds or ramekins, fitting them snugly. Trim off any excess bread that sticks out over the rim for a neat appearance.
Step 13
Spoon the prepared cheese filling evenly into each bread tart shell.
Step 14
Place the filled tarts into your air fryer and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Adjust the time and temperature according to your specific air fryer model.
Step 15
As soon as you open the air fryer, you’ll be greeted by the irresistible aroma of toasted cheese! Look at that beautiful golden-brown color – they turned out wonderfully!
Step 16
Remove the freshly baked cheese egg tarts from the air fryer and place them on a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes. Enjoy them while they’re warm for the perfect crispy and creamy texture.
