FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I use another type of dough instead of phyllo?
You can replace it with puff pastry or shortcrust. The result won’t be the same. The pie will be softer and less crispy, but still delicious!
Can the gorgonzola be replaced?
You can opt for a milder cheese like taleggio or fontina.
Can I replace the pear with another fruit?
Yes, you can use apples or figs, but the pear is perfect to balance the strong flavor of gorgonzola with its sweetness.
