Olive pie

You can serve the pie also

I made this pie for the Norwegian National Day or the Day of the Constitution. This day is celebrated widely in Norway and usually people eat Champagne breakfast on this day among other many different traditions that varies across the country.

Pie crust:

150 g butter

2 tbs of water

Filling:

3 eggs

200 g spinach

3 dl of sour cream

150 g parmesan cheese

6 cloves of garlic

Salt

1-3 dl black and green olives

Pre-cook the crust.

Mix the flour and butter together. When it is smooth dough add the water and mix some more. Put the dough in the fridge for at least for an hour. After this spread the dough on a pie casserole that is about 30 cm wide. Put some whole on it with a fork. Pre-cook the crust in the oven for 15 minutes in 230 degrees.

Mix the eggs and sour cream. Add the grated parmesan and garlic. Cook the spinach for 1 minute and rinse under cold water 3 times. Rinse well and cut the spinach into small pieces, add it to the mix. Add the olives.

Pour the mix on the pre-cooked crust. Cook the pie in 220 degrees about 30 minutes.

Pour the filling on the crust.

Mix all the filling incredients.

Pavlova

Add the topping just
before serving Pavlova.

 I have been afraid of making anything of meringue but if you fail first you can always try another time :D

Meringue pie:

4 egg whites

¼ tea spoons salt

4 dl of sugar

2 tea spoons of maizena

1 teaspoon of white wine vinegraitte

Topping:

2-3 dl of vanilla custard (from the grocery store)

3 dl of cream

Sugar

Passion fruit

300 g berries

Heat the oven to 250 celsius degrees (or 225 celsius degrees) . Whip the egg whites into white firm foam with salt. Add the sugar while still mixing the foam. Add maizena and vinaigrette. Pour the meringue foam on baking paper and form it into a cake like circle that is 3 cm thick and 26 cm wide.

Put the meringue foam into the oven and decrease the temperature to 100 celsius degrees. Let the meringue to be in the oven about an hour (or 1,5 hrs if you had the heat first at 225 celsius degrees). Turn of the oven and let the meringue to be there until it is cold. If you leave the meringue in an airy place it will last quite a long time.

Making the topping. Whip the cream and taste it with sugar. Mix it together with vanilla custard and pour on top the meringue. Add the berries and passion fruits. Note! Add the topping and the berries just before serving Pavlova.

Mix the egg whites into a
white firm foam and make
it as cake like circle.

Crispy on outside,
soft inside.

Scrambled eggs

Good scrambled eggs for any type of party never fails. This recipe gives you tasty scrambled eggs that are not dry or clumpy. Did you know that many hotels use egg powder when making scrambled eggs?

You need to count 1-2 eggs per person and 1 table spoonful of cream or milk per egg. Try also with crème fraiche instead of cream!

Eggs

Cream or milk

Butter

Salt

Pepper

Mix the eggs and cream together and cook the eggs on a pan for 20-30 minutes on a really low fire stiring the mix all the time. The whole point here is that you don’t get any clumps but a smooth nice scrambled eggs. If you have too hot pan the eggs will get clumpy right away.

In the end of the cooking time the scrambled eggs should be a smooth mass and there should be tiny amount of liquid left. In the end add some butter to add a really nice taste. Season with salt and pepper. Decorate with chive.
