Instructions

Step 1

Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, flour, and egg. Mix the ingredients together until they form a cohesive dough.

Once combined, shape the dough into a ball. Make sure it is well mixed and smooth.

Step 2

Prepare the Baking Sheet

Lay out a piece of parchment paper on your baking sheet. It is recommended to use silicone-coated parchment for best results.

With your hands, gently spread the dough onto the parchment, flattening it to your desired thickness.

Step 3

Add Toppings

Brush the surface of the dough with a beaten egg for a lovely golden finish once baked.

Randomly place slices of ripe pear and pieces of Brie cheese or Camembert on top of the dough, arranging them to your liking.

Step 4

Bake and Serve

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the pie for about 20 minutes.

Once golden and bubbly, remove the pie from the oven. Let it cool slightly, then drizzle with honey before serving. You can sprinkle with nuts if you like—though it’s delightful without them!

Your quick and tasty snack is ready to enjoy! It’s perfect for breakfast or lunch, and even the kids will love it!

Servings

When it comes to serving, this chic Brie cheese pie can shine on any table! Imagine it at a brunch spread, where it becomes the star of the show. Pairing beautifully with a light salad 🥗, you can create a savory-sweet experience by drizzling it with honey 🍯 for that extra touch of sweetness.

For family gatherings, slice the pie into generous wedges to share. Offer a side of your favorite fruit jam or a selection of cheeses for a delightful cheese board 🧀 experience.

Faq

  • What if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough is too sticky to work with, add a small amount of flour gradually until it reaches a manageable consistency. Be careful not to overdo it, so the texture of your pie remains fluffy!

  • Can I use different fruits?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different fruits like apples, peaches, or even berries. The key is to use ripe fruit that complements the richness of the cheese.

  • What is the best way to store leftovers?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to bring back its delightful texture!

  • How can I tell when the pie is done?

    The pie is done when it is golden brown on the edges, and the cheese has melted beautifully. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean!

  • Can I freeze this pie?

    Yes! Cool the pie completely and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in an airtight freezer bag. It can be frozen for up to three months.

  • How do I make the bottom crust crispier?

    To achieve a crispier bottom crust, pre-bake the crust for about 5-10 minutes before adding the cheese and toppings. This helps prevent sogginess!
