Beet and goat cheese pie

I have eaten this pie 5 days in a row and I’m still hungry for more! I do not think I need say anything else. I must admit that the recipe is more or less taken straight off a recipe in the magazine Allers from 2010. The recipe was so good that almost nothing needed to be changed.

Serves 4-5

Pastry

125 g butter
3 dl wheat flour
1 egg yolk

Filling

400 grams of raw beets, peeled and diced into 2 cm cubes
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
150 g fresh goat cheese, sliced
250 g cottage cheese
3 eggs
1 dl cream
0.5 tsp herb salt
0.5 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp canola oil

Topping

50 g pine nuts
1 handful bunch oregano, stripped
Oil for frying

Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Melt the butter and mix it with flour and egg yolk. Press the dough into a pie dish and bake it in the oven for 10 minutes. Mix beets, garlic and oil in an ovenproof dish and roast them in the oven for 10 minutes. Pour everything into the pre-baked pie shell. Spread goat cheese slices over the beets. Beat the eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Stir in cottage cheese and pour it all over the pie. Bake the pie for about 35 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, fry the pine nuts in oil until they become golden brown. Sprinkle the pie with pine nuts and oregano before serving.
