Variations

Gluten-Free & Vegan Variations 🌱💚

  • Gluten-Free

    Simply swap out the phyllo dough for gluten-free puff pastry available at most grocery stores. The baking time remains the same for this substitution.

  • Vegan

    Use vegan phyllo dough, replace the Camembert with your favorite plant-based cheese, and use a vegan yogurt substitute in place of sour cream or yogurt. Instead of an egg, you can use a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water).

Faq

  • How do I prevent the phyllo dough from drying out while assembling the pie?

    Keep the phyllo sheets covered with a damp towel while you work. This will prevent them from drying out and becoming brittle.

  • Can I make this pie ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can assemble the pie and keep it refrigerated for up to one day before baking. Just make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.

  • What can I use as a substitute for Camembert cheese?

    Brie cheese works just as well in this recipe if you're looking for a subtle tweak. You can also get creative with other soft cheeses like goat cheese or even blue cheese for a bolder flavor.

  • Is it possible to add meat to the recipe?

    Yes, thin slices of prosciutto or ham would make a delicious addition. Layer them in with the pear slices and cheese.

  • What's the best way to reheat leftovers?

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and warm the pie for about 10 minutes until it’s heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the phyllo dough soggy.

  • Can I customize the filling ingredients?

    Of course! Apples, figs, or even a sprinkle of dried cranberries can add a unique twist. Feel free to experiment to suit your taste preferences.
