- 2 eggs
- 1/2 pound cottage cheese (small curd)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint
- 1/8 teaspoon liqueur (Anisette liqueur)
- 3 tablespoons honey

How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 F.
-
Step 2: Make the dough. In a bowl, whisk the flour and salt to combine. Stir in the water and oil. Roll out in a rectangular shape, then fold in 3 parts like a business letter. Roll out again and repeat the folding 2 more times. Place the dough in an 8 inch tart pan - the kind with a removable bottom. Cover the bottom and sides with dough. Set aside.
-
Step 3: In a bowl, beat the eggs with the cheese, sugar, mint and anisette liqueur. Spread it over the dough in the tart pan. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the filling is set.
-
Step 4: In a small bowl, combine the honey and rosewater. When the tart is done, drizzle the honey mixture over the pie. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Serve warm.
