Method

  1. 1

    Rub the softened butter into the wheat flour. Add the water. Mix quickly into a dough.

  2. 2

    Pat the dough into a sheet of approx. 30 x 35 cm on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Fold up approx. 1.5 cm high edges so that the filling stays on the pie better.

  3. 3

    Rinse and dry the arugula. Set aside 1/4 of it for decoration (choose beautiful leaf tips). Chop the rest and sprinkle over the dough crust.

  4. 4

    Drain the salad cheese and crumble it over the crust. Drain the artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes. Cut the artichokes into 4 to 6 pieces. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Spread over the dough crust. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Mix the crème fraîche and eggs together. Pour the mixture over the filling. Sprinkle the pine nuts on top.

  6. 6

    Bake at 200 °C on the lower / middle rack of the oven for approx. 30 min.

  7. 7

    Before serving: Cut the pie into 3 x 4 -> 12 pieces or 4 x 5 -> 20 pieces. Garnish with the reserved arugula and cherry tomatoes cut into small wedges.
