Cheese Savory Tarts

Line patty tins with pastry, as for jam tarts.

Grate the cheese into a saucepan and add the seasonings.

Add the egg yolk to the mixture and stir slowly over gentle heat until smooth. Remove from heat.

Whisk the white of the egg until stiff, and then fold into the cheese mixture.

Pour into the prepared pastry cases.

Put into oven at gas mark 6 or 7, until the cheese mixture is well browned and gives the appearance of small soufflés.
