If you love cheese and you love carbs, this should be your new addiction. This gluten free pie, is not really a pie, but rather a slab of cheesy gooey goodness that deserves only the best cheeses. Don't supermarket cheese this, go high end deli cheeses and taste the dream. Replace potato, rice, pasta with this dish of comfort food.
This serves well as a side dish on a cold night, think Braised Lamb Shank Ragu, Beef Bourguignon, Beef Short Ribs, Chunky Bolognese Sauce. It works equally well on its own for a lunch with some roasted red pepper strips and a good pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Crispy green salad on the side. Yum.
