Cheese-filled pastry from shortcrust dough

Description

The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. To make a curd tart with shortcrust pastry, I recommend using good-quality butter (83-85% fat content). You can, of course, substitute it with margarine, but the result will be slightly different. By the way, if you use fatty cottage cheese, one egg will be enough. You can also make this curd tart without cherries—it's still very delicious.
