Tips about Swedish Cheese Pie
To make things even easier, use a pre-made dough. However, it can be worthwhile making your own – especially if you are allergic to gluten and want to experiment with a gluten-free flour mix.
Swedish Cheese Pie – like many other pies – can be eaten directly from the oven, but is even better after a few hours or even the day after.
Try also different herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, oregano or thyme. There are plenty of variations to choose from :)
Bonus recipe: – Cheese Pie from Honolulu! (Probably originally a Swedish recipe :P )
