Pear, Blue Cheese & Cottage Cheese Lavash Pie

This pear, blue cheese, and cottage cheese lavash pie is one of those recipes that feels almost too easy for how good it tastes. You only need a sheet of lavash, a creamy cottage cheese filling, a ripe pear, salty blue cheese, and a little honey.

The lavash turns golden and crisp in the oven, while the filling stays soft and creamy. Sweet pear, tangy blue cheese, and a touch of honey make this pie perfect for breakfast, brunch, a light lunch, or even as an easy appetizer with wine.

Ingredients

• 1 sheet lavash
• 200 g cottage cheese or ricotta
• 1 egg
• 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
• 40–50 g blue cheese, crumbled
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2–3 tbsp milk
• A pinch of salt, optional
• Freshly ground black pepper, optional
• Butter or olive oil, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Lightly grease a small baking dish with butter or olive oil.
3. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese or ricotta with the egg and milk until creamy. The mixture should be soft and spreadable, but not too runny.
4. Season the filling with a small pinch of salt and black pepper if desired. Be careful with the salt, as blue cheese is already quite salty.
5. Place the sheet of lavash into the baking dish, letting the edges come up the sides. If the lavash is too large, gently fold the extra edges inward.
6. Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the lavash.
7. Arrange the sliced pear on top of the filling.
8. Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the pear.
9. Drizzle the honey over the top.
10. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the lavash is golden and crisp around the edges and the filling is set.
11. Let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
12. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• Use a ripe but firm pear so it holds its shape while baking.
• Ricotta will give the pie a smoother texture, while cottage cheese makes it slightly more rustic and higher in protein.
• If your cottage cheese is very dry, add an extra spoonful of milk.
• If your cottage cheese is very watery, drain it slightly before mixing.
• Walnuts, thyme, or a little lemon zest would also work beautifully in this recipe.

Serving Ideas

This lavash pie is delicious on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with a simple green salad, arugula, roasted vegetables, or a bowl of soup. For a brunch table, serve it alongside fresh fruit, olives, and extra honey on the side.
