| This is one of my favorites.  The version I make is online at
| http://www.medievalcookery.com/recipes/cherrytorte.html
|
| Like you, I also cut the number of eggs down to three (six seemed like
| way too many).  How did the cheddar affect the flavor?  I keep thinking
| that it'd make the tart too savory to be a good dessert.
|
| While I was experimenting with this recipe I tried making it with dried
| cherries and the tart ended up with a very "raisins & spice" sort of
| flavor.

I haven't tried this, I need to as it sounds fabulous, however... I would
think that if you were using very sweet cherries, and the right mix of
spices, that cheddar cheese would end up giving it a kind of "apple pie with
cheese" feel - a mix of savory and sweet...
