Västerbotten Pie
“A simple pie made with tangy västerbotten cheese and served with a refreshing salad, this is sure to be a summer hit”
Ingredients
Pie Base 100g butter 100g flour 2 tbsp cold water Filling 3 eggs 250ml heavy cream 100ml milk 300g västerbotten cheese (can substitute with cheddar if you cannot find västerbotten) Pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Method
Set oven to 200 degrees. Rub the butter and flour together using your fingers until it looks like bread crumbs. Add the water and combine to make a dough. Roll out the dough and place in a 24cm pie dish. Place the dish in the fridge for 30 minutes. Remove from the fridge and use a fork to poke holes in the dough and back in the oven for about 10 minutes, allow to cool before adding the filling. Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk and salt and pepper. Mix in the cheese and pour the mixture into the cooled pie crust. Bake in the oven on the middle shelf for 30 minutes or until the pie is golden and bubbly on top.
