Sweet and salty cream cheese tart from Nothing Fancy: Unfussy Food for Having People Over (page 292) by Alison Roman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made 1/2 recipe in a 7" tart pan, using Ritz crackers, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and lime. The filling didn't seem quite set after 30 min, but maybe it was, as the tart cracked and slightly browned after 35, but it was fine anyway. The unbaked filling didn't taste that sweet, so I added an extra tablespoon of sugar, and would add more next time to balance the salty, tart flavors. This was definitely best as a thinner tart since the filling was quite dense. Overall, we liked it, and it was easy to make.

    Baked in a springform pan and the filling stuck to the side, so the cake cracked quite a bit despite slow cooling. Next time I'll try a tart pan. Used blood orange juice and luckily had lots of blood orange slices to cover up the cracks. Everyone loved it (used the labne and sour cream options).

    This was good for what is essentially a fuss free cheesecake.
