Rustic Savory Pie with Artichokes and Cheese

The rustic savory pie with artichokes and cheese is a dish that can be served as an appetizer or it can be eaten as a single dish.

The preparation of the savory pie with artichokes and cheeses is quite simple and starts with a layer of “pasta brisée” which is stuffed with a filling made with artichokes and three types of cheese.

Everything is then cooked in the oven. The result is really excellent, tasty, and very fragrant. One of the advantages of the artichoke savory pie is that it can also be prepared well in advance.

Once ready, heat it for a few moments in the microwave or for a few minutes in the oven.

Let me also give you some advice for when you have to clean the artichokes, so that your hands do not become dirty, rub a slice of lemon on your hands, passing it over the entire surface of your fingers as if it were a hand cream.
