cheese tart

Baked custard shell

A cheese tart is a small pastry with a cheese-based filling, typically baked in a shallow crust.

The filling ranges from savory (quiche-like preparations with herbs or vegetables) to sweet (cream cheese or ricotta desserts).

In some regions, cheese tart specifically means a custard tart topped with shredded coconut: The bakery's cheese tarts sold out by noon.
