The most delicate terrine of dried cherry berries, jam, hazelnuts, cottage cheese and blue cheese is an original appetizer or maybe a dessert that will perfectly decorate and diversify a romantic evening for two!
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of milk loaf;
- 100 g of blue cheese;
- 100 g of any curd cheese;
- 50 g dried cherries;
- 50 g roasted hazelnuts;
- 100 g butter;
- 4 tablespoons cherry or raspberry jam
Preparation:
- Turn on the oven and preheat to 180 degrees.
- Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it reaches room temperature and melts.
- Peel and fry the hazelnuts.
- Combine blue cheese with ½ part butter and knead well with a fork.
- Add the fried hazelnuts to the cheese mass, mix everything again and set aside.
- Combine the remaining piece of butter with curd cheese and mix until smooth. Note that a very small piece can be cut from this piece of butter to lubricate the terrine. Stir in the dried cherries into the finished curd mass.
- Trim the crust off each slice of the loaf so that only the crumb remains.
- In a silicone rectangular baking dish (10x20x6 cm), put the whole crumb in one layer and grease it with 2 tablespoons of jam. Note that you do not need to grease or cover the silicone baking dish with paper, but all the others are necessary.
- Gently lay the cheese mass with hazelnuts on top of the confiture and smooth it out.
- Put another layer of bread crumb on top of the cheese mass and grease it with the remaining jam.
- Put the curd mass with cherries on the confiture, level it too and cover with another crumb of bread.
- Grease the last bread layer with a piece of butter.
- Put the formed terrine in a hot oven for a quarter of an hour. Then take out, cool completely and place in the refrigerator for solidification.
- Remove the frozen cheese terrine from the refrigerator, take it out of the mold, cut it and serve, if desired, along with warm champagne.
