A blog about a passion - cooking passion
Cheese and dill pie is one of the recipes I invented when I craved lots of cheese, and I had some pie crust to spare. But let me tell you it was a hit! It was deliciously warm and cold when we ate the leftovers on the second day.
This pie is rich in cheese and also has the goodness of bell peppers, mushrooms, and smoked salmon. If you want, you can skip salmon altogether; you will still get a delicious pie.
Prepare the cheese and dill pie
For cheese and dill pie, I used a piece of lard dough; you can find the recipe here.
After I made the dough and left it to chill a little, I transferred the dough to a well-floured surface and using a rolling pin, I made a big circle, enough to cover my pie tray and the edges.
I made the cheese mix and added the bell pepper, mushrooms, and sliced smoked salmon. I placed the mix in the pan and baked it at 200 degrees for 30 minutes.
I could not wait to chill a little so that I can cut it. We kept the whole pie in the dining room, and we ate piece after piece; it was that good.
