For a good friend moving to L.A., I made a blueberry goat cheese pie. Bake one, share it and start a precious memory. —Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • Dough for single-crust pie
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, torn

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. On a floured sheet of parchment, roll dough into a 10-in. circle. Leave on parchment and transfer to a baking sheet.
  2. Mix blueberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch and basil. Spoon blueberry mixture over crust to within 2 in. of edge. Fold crust edge over filling, pleating as you go and leaving the center uncovered.
  3. Whisk egg and water; brush over crust. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle with goat cheese; bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Top with torn basil leaves before serving.
