Time 4h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided
1 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
6 tablespoons water, or more as needed
2 large eggs, divided
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
6 cups fresh blueberries
½ cup crumbled honey goat cheese
¼ cup basil, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Pour flour, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt into the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add cold butter cubes and pulse a few more times. Keep the processor running; add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and pat together into 2 flat rounds. Wrap each in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Place a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Lightly beat 1 egg and heavy cream together in a small bowl. Mix brown sugar, cornstarch, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Add blueberries, goat cheese, and basil, along with the heavy cream mixture, and toss gently to combine. Set aside.
  • Roll out one of the dough rounds into a 12-inch circle and place in a deep-dish pie plate. Spoon the blueberry filling over the crust. Chill until it's time to arrange the lattice top.
  • Roll out the second dough half and cut into eight 1-inch-thick strips. Arrange on top of the blueberry pie in a lattice pattern and crimp together with the bottom crust. Whisk the second egg together with a splash of water and brush over the top of the crust. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  • Bake the pie on the preheated foil-lined baking sheet for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Lightly cover the top with foil to prevent browning and bake until golden brown on top and bubbling in the center, 30 to 40 minutes more.
  • Remove pie from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries. Fresh blueberries have the best flavor and texture for this pie, but frozen blueberries can be used in a pinch. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin and make it easier to work with.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This blueberry, goat cheese, and basil pie is a delicious and easy-to-make summer treat. The combination of sweet blueberries, tangy goat cheese, and fresh basil is perfect for a hot day. This pie is also a great way to use up any leftover blueberries you may have. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly special dessert.
