How to prepare Quesada Pasiega
A typical dish of Cantabria very tasty. Although there are many recipes of this sweet native to the Valley of the Pass, most carry curd milk or fresh cheese.
The first thing we have to do to cook the pasiega cheese is to melt the butter, and then beat it with the beaten eggs and the sugar in a bowl. We can melt it in the microwave.
Then grate the skin half a lemon, pour it in a bowl with cinnamon and add the fresh crushed cheese with your hands.

Mix everything with your hands and add this lumpy mixture to the egg mixture. It doesn’t matter if the dough has a lot of lumps or pieces, because they will go undone when cooked in the oven.
Finally you have to incorporate the flour, little by little, and kneading with your hands. When we have put all the flour, well kneaded pour the mixture into a round cake mold, not very high, previously spread of butter, so that it does not stick when cooking.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and put the cheese to cook 20 minutes. Then we go down to 150 degrees and leave it 10 minutes more.
Then we leave another 10 minutes with the oven off, resting.
This is an orientation time since every oven is a world. It is best to take out the quesada when it is made on the inside and brown on the outside.
