Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar, divided

- 1 pre-made pie crust or homemade dough
- 1 egg (for egg wash)

How to Make
To make this delicious Blueberry Galette Rustic, start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine fresh blueberries, ¼ cup of sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt. Stir gently to coat the blueberries without smashing them. Roll out your pie crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet and transfer the blueberry mixture to the center, leaving about 2 inches of edge. Fold the crust over the edges of the filling, crimping it gently to secure. Brush the edges with the egg wash and sprinkle the remaining sugar on top. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter for extra moisture. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and bubbly.
Tips
