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.

This was a unique and fabulous recipe, which I will make over and over again. If you love blueberries and goat cheese, you will be pleasantly surprised how delicious this pie truly is.
A real winner. Even my skeptic husband loved it.

I saw this pie on an episode of DDD and had to try it. It sounded so unique. First off tho let me say you must like, no love, goat cheese to appreciate this pie. It isn't your standard traditional blueberry pie. It's blueberry pie on a whole notha level. I love goat cheese and I thought it was delicious. Different, but delicious. My husband, the goat cheese hater (but who can't pass up sweets even with goat cheese first turned up his nose when he took his first bite. Then after his 2nd bite I heard "this is good". I guess he liked it because he ate his and 1/2 of another piece.

I made this and thought it was great. I would like to try again in tarts and change the blueberries to blackberries. Once I try this I will let you know how they turn out. Also going to try and freeze them.
