Ingredients
  • 8 slices of anchovy fillets
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g or 6.7 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (115g or 4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120ml or 4 fl oz) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml or 4 fl oz) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (60g or 2.1 oz) breadcrumbs
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup (30g or 1.1 oz) chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup (30g or 1.1 oz) chopped fresh dill
Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C or 350°F, whichever you prefer.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 115g or 1/2 cup of softened butter with 60g or 1 cup of breadcrumbs. Mix until they're well combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of a 23cm or 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.

3. In a large bowl, beat 225g or 8 ounces of cream cheese until it's smooth. Add 60g or 1/4 cup of sour cream, 60ml or 1/4 cup of heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

4. Arrange 6-8 anchovy fillets on top of the crust, followed by 1/2 cup or 60g of sliced red onion. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.

5. Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving.

6. Garnish with chopped fresh dill and chives if you like. Serve the tart chilled and enjoy!
