Diane's Kaesewaehe (Swiss-style savory cheese tart)

Like its cousin the fruchtewähe, the käsewähe is often sold by the slice in Swiss bakeries as the main ingredient in a fast lunch. Käsewähen can include all kinds of savory ingredients, depending on what's in season. This one is an "all-season" recipe.

As regards the cheeses: Most wähen on their home ground would include a mixture of Emmental and Gruyere cheeses, about 60% Emmental to 40% Gruyere. But you can vary the mixture to your own preferences: some people prefer not to use the Gruyere at all, or to substitute a more assertive cheese like the "räss" version of Appenzeller. It's your call. (This would probably also work well if you added a smoked cheese.)
