work time: 30 min. total time: 40 min.
Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out pie
dough to an oval about 16" wide. Trim a strip about 11/2" wide off each
long side and discard. Fold over a 1" border along each long side. Put
dough on a baking sheet and prick surface with a fork. Beat egg with 1 T.
water and brush the dough lightly with some of the egg mixture. Bake until
golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool, grate 1 T. of the yellow zest from
the lemon and squeeze 2 T. juice. In a bowl , combine cream cheese, sugar,
lemon zest and juice and beat until smooth. Chill. Spread cream cheese
mixture over the bottom of the baked crust and arrange blueberries on top.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, sprinkle with
confectioners' sugar, if you like. Yield: 6 servings Posted to TNT
