Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 to 3/4 cups cold margarine
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Pinch salt
- Cold water
Filling:
- 1/2 cup soft goat cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
- 5 cups fresh blueberries
Topping:
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup melted margarine
Directions
For the crust:
Combine the flour, margarine, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Work with your fingers
gathering and crumbling until you have a crumbly mixture, about the size of peas.
In small amounts, slowly add cold water, gently incorporating by hand. As soon as the dough comes together in a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
For the filling: Mix the goat cheese, heavy cream, egg, sugar, flour, salt and basil together in a bowl. Add the blueberries and mix to desired texture.
For the topping: Mix the almonds, sugar and margarine in bowl, set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out the dough and place in a 10-inch pie pan. Pour the filling into the crust and sprinkle the topping over the top. Bake 25 minutes, rotating at the pie halfway through.

I did I not pre cook the pie crust, but reviewed the comments half way in. I used frozen berries but increased the cooking time as indicated (double and added some things from other similar recipes. It certainly did thicken when it cooled when cooked double time. It was a wonderful compliment of flavors and when entered in a pie bake off came home empty. I used frozen berries but after reading the reviews and watching till it bubbled like any other pie it was awesome. Definitely will make it again. I always add my own twist, but for a first time everyone enjoyed it. Read the reviews first and you won't panic!

I made this and it was simple, easy and marvellous! I used butter instead of margarine for the crust. Everything tastes better with butter. I've tried this recipe with different fruits other than blueberry such as strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and field berries. With each I changed the amount of Goat Cheese and Basil that I used and with each pie they all tasted superb. My neighbour's ask me for this pie at least once a month now at the Community Centre Dinner.
