Stilton Tart with Cranberry Chutney

This elegant Stilton tart with cranberry chutney is a sophisticated vegetarian choice that balances the bold, salty notes of blue cheese with the vibrant sweetness of fruit. The rich, velvety custard is baked in a crisp pastry shell, creating a festive savoury treat that feels indulgent without being overly heavy. It is a fantastic option for autumn and winter entertaining, particularly during the Christmas season when traditional British flavours are at their best.

Ideal for hosting, this recipe can be sliced into small rectangles to serve as party canapés or enjoyed as a refined starter alongside a fresh rocket salad. The addition of shop-bought or homemade cranberry chutney provides a sharp contrast to the chilled Stilton, making it a crowd-pleasing addition to any buffet table or celebratory lunch.

How to make Stilton Tart with Cranberry Chutney

Preheat oven to 177°C.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 17- by 8-inch rectangle and fit into tart pan. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang inward and press against side of pan to reinforce edge. Lightly prick bottom and sides all over with a fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

Line pastry shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in middle of oven 20 minutes, then carefully remove foil and weights and bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes more. Cool shell in pan 20 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 163°C.

Whisk together cream, whole egg, yolks, salt, and pepper until combined.

Put tart shell (still in pan) on a baking sheet and scatter cheese evenly in shell. Slowly pour custard into shell and bake in middle of oven until golden around edge and custard is just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool tart completely in pan on a rack.

Cut tart into 32 rectangles and serve at room temperature, topped with chutney.
