Number Of Ingredients 8

1 9-inch pie crust in aluminum tin
7 ounces Roquefort cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 eggs, beaten
Freshly grated pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons minced chives

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare crust (if necessary) and set aside. In a large bowl, combine Roquefort cheese, cream cheese and heavy cream. Add the eggs, pepper, cayenne and chives and combine until well-mixed. Pour into the prepared pie crust and bake for 30 minutes, until the center is set. Remove from oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Can be served warm, at room temperature or cold. Notes: Tip: For the pie crust, you can use homemade, frozen or (as Spain prefers) the refrigerated Pillsbury crusts. If you can't find Roquefort blue cheese, then substitute Gorgonzola or Amish blue cheese crumbles.
