Pinch of salt
1 Tbsp sugar
Cold water

½ cup soft goat cheese
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
1 large egg
Pinch salt
5 cups fresh blueberries
Topping:
1 cup sliced almonds
½ cup sugar
⅓ cup melted margarine
Instructions
For the crust:
Combine flour, margarine, sugar, and salt in large bowl.
Work the mixture with your fingers, until crumbly and the size of peas.
Add about ½ cup cold water. When dough comes together in a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
For the filling:
Mix the goat cheese, heavy cream, egg, sugar, flour, salt and basil together in a bowl. Add the blueberries and mix to the desired texture.
For the topping:
Mix the almonds, sugar and margarine in a bowl; set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll out the dough and place it in a 10-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Par-bake the crust for 15 minutes or until firm. Let cool slightly.
Pour the filling into the crust and sprinkle over the topping.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until slightly bubbling and the crust is browned, rotating the pie halfway through.Let pie cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack and the filling can firm up.
