Cheese Terrine With Dried Cherries

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:

1. Turn on the oven and preheat to 180 degrees.
2. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it reaches room temperature and melts.
3. Peel and fry the hazelnuts.
4. Combine blue cheese with ½ part butter and knead well with a fork.
5. Add the fried hazelnuts to the cheese mass, mix everything again and set aside.
6. 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.
7. Trim the crust off each slice of the loaf so that only the crumb remains.
8. 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.
9. Gently lay the cheese mass with hazelnuts on top of the confiture and smooth it out.
10. Put another layer of bread crumb on top of the cheese mass and grease it with the remaining jam.
11. Put the curd mass with cherries on the confiture, level it too and cover with another crumb of bread.
12. Grease the last bread layer with a piece of butter.
13. 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.
14. Remove the frozen cheese terrine from the refrigerator, take it out of the mold, cut it and serve, if desired, along with warm champagne.
