Recipe for: Cubiletes de Requeson – Individual Cheese Pies

Makes 1 DOZEN

Filling

Lightly grease a standard-size muffin tin
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
On a lightly floured surface, roll about two-thirds of the dough to ? inch thickness
With a cookie cutter or large glass, cut out 12 circles about 3¾ inches in diameter and press into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin cups
The dough may crack or break, but just press it together with your fingers
Make sure they are about the same thickness all around
Reroll the scraps and the remaining one-third dough to the same thickness and cut out 12 circles that are the same size as the tops of the muffin cups
Place the cups and the tops on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate while you prepare the filling (the dough can be made up to 3 days ahead of time but needs to be taken out and allowed to come to room temperature before unwrapping and using)
Preheat the oven to 350°F

TO MAKE THE FILLING, place the cheese in a cheesecloth-lined bowl and drain the excess liquid

Combine the drained cheese, the sugar, sour cream, flour, lime zest, vanilla, and eggs in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator
Spoon the cheese filling into the dough cups almost to the top
Lightly wet the edges of the dough cups with your fingers and place 1 dough circle on top of each cup
Press lightly to seal the edges
Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sugar
Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes
Let cool for a few minutes in the pan, then carefully flip the pan to unmold the pies and let cool on a wire rack
