Fig pie with sharp cheddar
A pie with cheese and figs that goes very well with a drizzle of honey on top
To make the crust
Ingredients
- 200 gr flour
- 1 egg
- 100 gr butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method
- Use cold butter, from the fridge. Add the flour, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until all the butter is incorporated and it has a sand texture.
- Add the egg, mix it well then form a dough. Try to not use your hands very much, so the butter doesn't melt.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for 30 min.
To make the filling:
Ingredients
- 2 tb mascarpone cheese
- 70 gr sharp cheddar
- 4-5 fresh figs
- 1 egg
- 1 ts flour
- pinch of salt
Method
- Grate the cheddar, then mix it with the egg and mascarpone.
- Add the flour and the salt.
- Take out the pie dough from the fridge, then roll it into a thin sheet. Grease a tin with butter, then gently press the dough on the tin. You can go a bit higher on the edges.
- Add the filling and slices of figs on top and bake for 35 minutes at 170 C.
- Drizzle some honey on top before serving.
