"Freeform Rustic Tart" They Call It

[chronographia]

The viral recipe swap going around right now specifies simple, top-of-the-head dishes, which I think is a disservice because recipients are so consumed with getting that thing out of their inbox and on its way to the next set of people that it discourages anything a little more involved. (Your milage may vary.)

I am digging galettes right now

Yeah, the staggered effect of getting your friends' friends recipes results in a very much a mixed bag. But I figure if I want my friends to have a recipe, I will post it here. So. Yay.

I love pie with meat in.
The good thing about this is that it's entirely variable to taste -You're vegetarian? Omit the bacon. -You're not exactly sold on the taste of leeks yet? Maybe only use one. It's like all the best parts of quiche without second-guessing the done-ness of your eggs.

(Also, man, I've been saying for ages that I should post my favorite empanada recipe here and I keep forgetting. It follows in the general theme of 'Chronographia Loves Sweet/Sour Like A Fiend.')

Empanadas are a fucking marathon sport. Make sure you can enlist help if you decide to go for it.

I mean, I love 'em, but I always want to collapse when I'm done.

I have not encountered cultured cream cheese. Is it more like mascarpone?
