Today I informed Chris that a crumble was like a pie without a bottom.

After a short pause he responded “Like a frittata?”

I love this man.

 

I look forward to berry season every year!

I love baking berry desserts and topping them with really great vanilla ice cream! Berries are just tart enough to perfectly contrast the creaminess of vanilla ice cream (preferably slightly melted due to the dessert being right out of the oven!)

 

Blueberry season is in full swing in Connecticut. I eagerly decided to make a crumble with our remaining blueberries from Bishop’s Orchard when I came across this at the grocery store!

Small batch vanilla bean ice cream!  The ingredients list consists of milk, cream, cane sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla beans!  I rushed straight home and immediately tested the ice cream straight from the container.  It was fantastic and I knew it would go perfectly on top of the crumble (If I could save some!)

 

With fresh berries and delicious vanilla ice cream in hand I set out to make my blueberry pie frittata.  I loosely followed the fruit crumble recipe on Two Peas and Their Pod, adjusting the recipe to both my taste buds and the ingredients I had on hand.

 

Blueberry Pie Frittata (i.e. Blueberry Crumble):

 

Filling:

2 Cups of blueberries

Juice from 1 lemon

Zest from 1 lemon

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 cup flour

 

Crumble:

1/3 cup flour

1/3 cup oats

1/3 cup brown sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

4 tablespoons cold butter, diced

 

Ingredients

 

Spread blueberries out in a pie dish.

Toss blueberries with lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and flour.

Mix in cold, cubed butter using fingers until butter is well blended and mixture is crumbly.

Top blueberries with crumble, spreading it out evenly.

Bake in 350 F oven for 30-40 minutes.  The crumble is done when the fruit is bubbling and the crumble is golden brown.

Optional (but highly recommended) step:  Enjoy a glass of wine while the crumble bakes!

Once the crumble is done let it cool for 5-10 minutes, mainly to let it stop bubbling.
