  8. Season the mixture with a pinch of fine salt and ground black pepper, mixing evenly.
  9. For the cheese and mint filling into the prepared pastry shell, spreading it evenly.
  10. Place the tart pan on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the filling is set and the pastry is golden.
  11. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
