Cover the crust with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, and then remove the foil and beans and bake until the crust just begins to brown, another 15 minutes

For the filling: While the crust is baking, combine the farmer cheese, sugar and cardamom in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and whip together until well incorporated

Add 1 egg at a time on medium speed, waiting until fully incorporated and smooth before each new addition
