This makes a great brunch treat or dinner and is so latt (that's Swedish for easy). The hardest part is waiting for 20 minutes after you take it out of the oven before you can cut it and tuck in

Picture
INGREDIENTS: 
  • 125 grams butter, chilled (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp water, cold
  • 3 cups Gruyere or Västerbottenost, grated
  • 3 large eggs

METHOD:
For the pastry:

  2. Form a disc with the dough and wrap it in plastic.  Place the disc in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Take the dough out of the refrigerator.  Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough and place it in an 8-inch pie plate.  
  4. Trim the sides and place the pie plate in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  5. While the dough is still in the freezer, preheat the oven to 220°C (425 °F).
  6. Make holes in the dough by pricking it randomly with a fork.  
  7. Place dough in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes.  
  8. Set aside to cool.
For the cheese filling:
  1. Adjust oven temperature to 200°C (375°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine cheese, pepper, eggs, and cream.  Use a whisk to mix evenly.
  3. Pour cheese mixture into the prebaked pastry.
  4. Place pie form in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the mixture has solidified.
  5. Take cheese pie out of the oven and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
