Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1 gluten-free pie crust
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey, divided
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1 (8.0-ounce) container mascarpone
- 1 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 2 ripe but firm pears or apples (or a combo), cored and thinly sliced
Method
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Bake empty pie crust until matte and beginning to brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together half-and-half, 1/3 cup of the honey, vanilla, eggs and mascarpone.
Pour into pie crust and bake until just set in the middle, 35 to 40 minutes. Set aside to let cool completely.
Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
In a small bowl, stir together remaining 2 tablespoons honey, rosemary, thyme and 1 teaspoon water.
Add fruit, toss gently to coat and pile onto pie (or fan decoratively over the top).
Drizzle with any leftover juices and then slice and serve.
