To make the pastry, mix the flour, butter, sugar and egg together in a bowl until it forms a dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and use it to line a 23cm tart tin. Prick the base with a fork and chill for 15 minutes.
To make the filling, beat the cheese, sugar, eggs, mint and anise liqueur together in a bowl until smooth.
Pour the filling into the pastry case and bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden.
