Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Base

Start by prepping the base for the pie. In a bowl, combine 250 grams of cottage cheese, 50 grams of grated hard cheese, 2 eggs, 3 tablespoons of flour, and a pinch of salt.

Mix the ingredients together until you form a soft dough and shape it into a round base.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

Next, we will prepare the filling. Thinly slice 1 pear and cut the Camembert cheese into small pieces.

Set aside the ingredients as you'll layer them on the pie later.

Step 3

Assemble the Pie

Brush the edges of the base with egg yolk to give it a nice glaze.

Evenly distribute the sliced pear and chunks of cheese over the base.

Step 4

Bake the Pie

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the base is golden brown.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, serve the pie warm. Sprinkle with crushed walnuts and drizzle with honey for added flavor.

This pie is incredibly delicious—make sure to give it a try! ❤️

Servings

After taking your **Pear and Camembert Pie** out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it warm for the ultimate experience! It pairs beautifully with a dollop of creamy whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for those sweet tooth cravings. 🍨
You can also elevate your serving game by drizzling some honey over the slices and sprinkling with chopped nuts for an added crunch! 🌰
For a nice touch, serve alongside a fresh green salad or some miniature cheese platters to complement the flavors of the pie and create a beautiful display that dazzles your guests! 🎉

Variations

If you're looking to cater to different dietary needs, here are some amazing variations:

For a **gluten-free option**, simply substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free blend. You'll still achieve a delicious crust that everyone will enjoy! 🌾

For those who prefer **vegan cuisine**, replace the eggs with a flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) and use vegan cheese that melts well instead of Camembert. Your vegan friends will appreciate your effort! 🌱

Faq

What if I don’t have Camembert cheese?
You can substitute it with Brie cheese or any soft cheese that melts well, such as goat cheese.
Can I prepare this pie in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the crust and filling separately, then assemble and bake when you’re ready to serve.
How do I store any leftover pie?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven before serving again.
Can I use other fruits?
Yes! Apples or peaches are great alternatives and will provide a different yet delicious flavor profile.
What adjustments can I make to reduce the sweetness?
Consider cutting down the amount of honey or using less sweet cheese to balance the flavors.
How can I make the crust crunchier?
Adding a little bit of cornmeal to your flour mix can give you that extra crunch you're looking for!
