Savoury vegetarian pie

Last weekend I had a family reunion and we all had to make something. I decided to contribute making two savory pies. One with a more "adult" taste and the other one a little more "children" friendly. I decided to stick to ingredients that most people like and not to make things too complicated and too advanced.

So this was the result :

1. PEAS & GOAT CHEESE with an almond flour crust : almond flour crust is my absolute favorite type of crust when it comes to pies.

Peas and goat cheese with an almond flour crust

Ingredients : 

• For the crust: 3 dl almond flour, 0.5 dl sesame seeds, 3 tbsp flaxseeds, 50g butter and 1 egg.
• For the filling : 4 eggs, 250g creme fraice, 200g goat cheese, 300g  peas, salt and pepper.

Procedure: 

1. Mix all the ingredients for the crust. Flatten out in a pie tin and bake at 175° for 7 minutes until golden.

2. Mix eggs with the creme fraice by using a fork. Add salt and pepper.

3. Add the peas on top of the crust. Crumble the goat cheese on top and then add the egg-creme fraice mixture on top. 

4. Bake at 175° for 30-40 minutes.

5. Enjoy warm and with big salad.

2. GREEK FLAVORS with a crispy potato crust. The crust is made by thinly sliced potatoes that are baked until crispy in the oven. I was planing on using sweet potatoes but I know that my relatives are not a big fan of sweet potatoes so I used normal ones. 

Ingredients: 
For the crust: 3-4 medium sized potatoes. 
For the filling: 4 eggs, 250g creme fraice, 1/2 dl olives, 200g cherry tomtoes, a small can sweet corn, 200g feta cheese, 1/2 dl fresh basil leaves, salt and pepper. 

Procedure: 
1. Slice the  potatoes very thinly and place on top of a pie tin. Add olive oil, salt and pepper. (as you can see from the picture underneath) 

2. Bake for 10-15 minutes, at 175° C, until the potatoes get a crispy and brown appearance. 

3. Mix egg with creme fraice, add salt and pepper. 

4. Chop the cherry tomatoes and the feta cheese. 

5. Place cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, feta cheese, olives and basil  leaves inside the crust and pour the egg-creme fraice filling on top. 

6. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 175° C.

7. Enjoy warm and with a big salad.
