Birch Sap Salad Pie
Kasesalati Pirukas is a unique savory pie that incorporates birch sap, a traditional ingredient in Estonian cuisine, into a filling often made with root vegetables and sometimes a touch of smoked meat or fish. The pie features a rustic, savory crust, and the birch sap lends a subtle, slightly sweet, and earthy flavor to the filling, making it a distinctive taste of Estonian spring.

For the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

For the filling: If using bacon, cook it in a skillet until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: This step is optional, but adds a nice smoky flavor. - 4
Add the diced carrots, parsnips, and sliced leek to the skillet. Sautรฉ until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the birch sap, egg yolks, sour cream, salt, pepper, and chopped dill. Stir in the cooked vegetables and optional bacon.

Preheat oven to 190ยฐC (375ยฐF). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Line the pie plate with the dough, trimming and crimping the edges.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: You can blind-bake the crust for 10 minutes if you prefer a crispier bottom. - 7
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil. - 8
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
