Ingredients for the dough:
- 200 g grated cheddar cheese (or other cheese)
- 250 g flour
- 125 g cold butter, cut into cubes
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2-3 tablespoons of cold water

Ingredients for the filling:
- 300 g chicken liver (or beef liver, as preferred)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 100 ml sour cream
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil for frying

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Start by preparing the dough. Put the grated cheese in a food processor and mix for a few seconds until fine. Add the flour, cold butter, and salt, continuing to mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.

2. Add the egg and a few tablespoons of cold water, then continue mixing until the dough starts to come together. If it is too dry, add a little water. Do not over-knead to maintain the tart's crisp texture.

3. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. This step will help achieve a tender tart with a pleasant texture.

4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the onion. Sauté until it becomes translucent, then add the garlic and liver. Fry the liver for 5-7 minutes until golden, stirring occasionally.

5. Once the liver has cooled slightly, transfer it to a bowl. Add the sour cream, eggs, salt, and pepper, mixing well until you have a smooth mixture.

6. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface into a tart pan. Make sure the edges are raised. Prick the base with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming.

7. Pour the liver filling over the dough and level it with a spatula. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the surface is golden and the filling is well cooked.

8. Let the tart cool slightly before cutting it. You can serve it warm or at room temperature, alongside a fresh salad for a pleasant contrast.

Serving suggestions and variations:
For an extra flavor boost, you can add fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, to the liver mixture. You can also experiment with different types of cheese in the dough or adding sautéed mushrooms to the filling. Liver tart is versatile and can be customized according to your preferences.

This liver tart recipe is not only a tasty choice but also a fantastic way to transform simple ingredients into something truly special. Enjoy every bite and cherish the time spent in the kitchen!
