CRUST
2 c a p flour
1/2-3/4 c cold margarine
1 Tbsp sugar
1 pinch butter, unsalted
a little cold water
FILLING
1/2 c soft goat cheese
1/2 c heavy cream

1/4 c a p flour
1 pinch salt
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
5 c fresh blueberries
TOPPING
1 c scliced almonds

Steps:

  • 1. For the crust: Combine the flour, margarine, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Work with your fingers gathering and crumbling until you have a crumbly mixture, about the size of peas. In small amounts, slowly add cold water, gently incorporating by hand. As soon as the dough comes together in a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes
  • 2. For the filling: Mix the goat cheese, heavy cream, egg, sugar, flour, salt and basil together in a bowl. Add the blueberries and mix to desired texture. For the topping: Mix the almonds, sugar and margarine in bowl, set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 3. Roll out the dough and place in a 10-inch pie pan. Pour the filling into the crust and sprinkle the topping over the top. Bake 25 minutes, rotating at the pie halfway through.
