Modern Baker: Lemony Cheese Tart with Sour Cream Glaze

      The second recipe I made from the Sweet Tarts & Pies section (the 60th recipe overall in this book) of The Modern Baker  by Nick Malgieri, was the one for Lemony Cheese Tart with Sour Cream Glaze, on pages 172-173.  (We are not publishing recipes from the book, so if you like what you see, buy the book and bake along with or without us). 

      I used one-third recipe of the Sweet Tart Dough for the 6" crust.  The ingredient list for the crust:  all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, and eggs.  I used one-fourth of the filling recipe for this 6" tart.  The ingredient list for the filling:  cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, eggs, and sour cream.  Again, one-fourth of the topping recipe for this tart.  The ingredient list for the topping:  sour cream, sugar, and vanilla.
      It all went together quickly and easily with readily available inexpensive ingredients.  The end result was delicious, sort of like a lemon cheesecake.  The recommendation was to serve it at room temperature, and that was good, but I loved it best chilled from the refrigerator.  Definitely a repeat...we all loved it.
