Ingredients:
- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Honey (for the sweet tooth!)
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice (for that zesty zing)
- 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon (because cinnamon is the superhero of spices)
- 1 tbsp Corn Flour/Corn Starch (to thicken things up)
- 1 tsp Salt (just a pinch to keep things interesting)
- 1 tbsp Sugar (for that extra sweetness)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (for that fancy flair)
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar (because vinegar isn’t just for salads!)
- 2 sticks Unsalted Butter (butter makes everything better)
- 2 cups Soft Myzithra Cheese (ooey-gooey goodness)
- 1/2 cup Water or Milk (your choice, because flexibility is key)
- 2½ cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour (plus more for your workspace)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to a temperature that’ll make your kitchen feel like a warm hug—let’s say 175°C
- Mix together eggs, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, corn flour, salt, sugar, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk it like you’re on a cooking show, impress yourself!
- Melt those unsalted butter sticks and add them to the mix. Embrace the buttery goodness.
- Add the Myzithra cheese to the party and make sure it gets comfy in the mix.
- Slowly pour in your choice of water or milk, stir it gently like you’re stirring in some top-secret ingredients.
- Gradually add in the gluten-free baking flour until everything comes together like a dream. Sprinkle some more flour on your workspace and roll out your pie crust like you’re Picasso but with pastry.
- Pour your creamy concoction into the pie crust. Don’t hold back; let it all in there!
- Bake in your preheated oven for around 45-50 minutes. Use this time to practice your victory dance because you’re about to create a masterpiece.
- Once it’s done, garnish it with a sprinkle of honey and cinnamon, like the fairy dust of desserts.
- Let it cool a bit (if you can resist), slice it up, and enjoy your creation! Remember, calories don’t count when it’s this delicious.
Note: If you’re not into gluten-free, you can totally swap the flour, but trust me, this pie is still going to be amazing.
