Flaó
Ibiza’s tart of fresh cheese, eggs and mint on an aniseed pastry, typical at Easter.
Ingredients
- Pastry: 250 g flour, 1 egg, 50 ml oil, 1 dash of anise liqueur and a pinch of salt
- Filling: 500 g fresh sheep’s or goat’s cheese, 4 eggs, 200 g sugar
- A handful of fresh mint leaves
- Icing sugar
How to make it at home
- Knead the flour with the egg, oil, anise and salt, and line a tin.
- Beat the cheese with the eggs and sugar.
- Chop the mint and mix it into the filling.
- Pour the filling into the tin and bake at 180 °C for about 45 minutes.
- Leave to cool and dust with icing sugar.
The trick: Fresh spearmint gives it its unique flavour: don’t swap it for dried mint.
