Step

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step

Roll out the pie crust and carefully line a greased pie dish with it. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.

Step

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step

Sprinkle half of the grated cheese over the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step

Pour the egg mixture over the cheese, ensuring it fills the pie crust.

Step

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the egg mixture.

Step

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.

Step

Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for this recipe

For added flavor, consider adding some diced cooked bacon or sautéed onions to the filling mixture before baking. It will lend a delicious savory touch to your Svensk Ostpaj. Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, and it pairs perfectly with a side salad or pickled cucumbers.
