Best Sambocade Medieval Elderflower Cream Cheese Tart Recipes
SAMBOCADE - MEDIEVAL ELDERFLOWER CREAM CHEESE TART
This is an unusual tart which can be baked all year round using elderflower cordial, but it is best to use fresh elderflowers when available (in June and July). It is a variation of a cheese tart using only fresh or stale breadcrumbs. Elderflowers have strong medicinal credentials and were used by witches in Medieval England. Traditionally, the flowers were infused into wine, cordials and vinegars and were also used in elderflower fritters, now reappearing on modern restaurant menus. As well as being an interesting pudding tart, this tart can be eaten outside set meal times with a glass of elderflower wine or champagne.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
- Line a deep 23cm (9 in) tart tin with the pastry and pre-bake or bake blind for about 10-15 minutes.
- In a bowl, cream together the egg yolks and sugar until almost white and shiny, then gradually add the cream cheese, beating well after each addition until well blended. Stir in the breadcrumbs and set aside.
- Prepare the freshly picked elderflowers by forking the flowers off the stems. Stir the flowers or cordial into the cheese mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until shiny and stiff, then fold these into the cheesy mixture. Spoon into the pre-baked pastry case. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
- SERVE warm or at room temperature with cream or creme fraiche.

MEDIEVAL APPLE TART (SILVER PALATE)
I adopted this from the Silver Palate Cookbook and added it to our Thanksgiving Menu. It's a flaky version of a French croustade made with thinly sliced apples and Grand Marnier and served warm with Creme Fraiche.

Steps:
- Unwrap the phyllo sheets and cover them with a damp towel for 10 minutes. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Preheat the oer to 425°F.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly butter a 14-inche baking pan. Lay a phyllo sheet on the pan. Remember to re-cover the unused phyllo with a damp towel each time. Brush the phyllo with some of the melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of the Grand Marnier. Repeat using 5 more phyllo leaves.
- Arrange the apples in the center of the top sheet of phyllo in a circular mount about 6 inches in diameter. Brush them with butter and sprinkle with some sugar and Grand Marnier.
- Stack 6 more phyllo sheets on top of the apples, repeating and buttering and sprinkling with sugar and Grand Marnier. The top (twelfth) sheet of phyllo should only be buttered.
- Trim off the corners of the phyllo sheets so you have a large round about 8 inches in diameter. Turn up the edges of the phyllo and pinch lightly to seal. Be tidy but don't work too long on this; the tart should look rustic.
- Set the pan on the center of the oven and bake until golden, 30-40 minutes. If the pastry becomes too brown before this time, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Serve the tart immediately or reheat gently before serving.
- Serve with a dollop of Creme Fraiche.
