Grape and Blue Cheese Pie
Baking and Desserts • European
Description
This is a great pie that works well as a snack with wine. It can be served warm or cold. It can also be enjoyed for breakfast as toast with soft cheese and figs. The dough here turns out moist and sweet-salty, while the grape skins dissolve. It's best to use firm, small seedless grapes or to remove the seeds from larger grapes beforehand. Instead of blue cheese, you can use Gorgonzola. Grapes can be replaced with finely chopped pears. If blue cheese isn't suitable, it can easily be substituted with homemade cheese like Adyghe or Suluguni, mozzarella, or any other soft white cheese. A baking dish for cakes is recommended — long, narrow, and with high sides.
