Let me introduce you to this gluten-free chevre and fig pie, my new favorite salty pie. I came up with this recipe by mistake so to say. I got a huge craving for salty pie one afternoon, and my mind wandered to buttery pie crust filled with cheesy cream filling. However, I must say, this pie beats both buttery pie crust and cheesy cream filling. It’s packed with so much flavor and has the perfect balance of sweet and salty, crunchy and soft. I warn you, it creates severe cravings. Don’t be scared by the long list of ingredients, many of the ingredients might be stuff you already have at home. Promise me you will make this next time your pie cravings hit you, you will not be disappointed.
Diet variations
This gluten-free chevre and fig pie is quite diet-friendly already, as the crust is gluten-free. You can use regular flour if you want or have a nut allergy, but otherwise, I highly suggest you to to try this version if you can, cause it’s so good. The pie can be made 100% vegan if you leave out the egg from the crust and replace it with for instance a flax-egg and skip the chevre cheese or replace it with vegan chevre. I use oat-based cream cheese and cream in this recipe, but if you prefer dairy-based, feel free to swap, the same amount applies.
Tip!
This recipe contains three kinds of onion, for a reason. Onion is extremely healthy and when fried on low heat for long, it becomes soft and sweet, delicious. The pie is topped with caramelized onions to further enhance the flavor combination. If you can’t find fresh figs, use dried ones instead. It will not be as fresh and a bit sweeter, as dried figs are very sweet, but it will nevertheless be very delicious.
Hope you like it,
