Blueberry Galette with Honey
- Rustic and visually stunning dessert.
- Uses fresh, summer blueberries and a touch of honey for natural sweetness.
- Quick to prepare, making it an excellent choice for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Sugar for sprinkling
How to Make
To prepare your Blueberry Galette with Honey, start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, gently combine the fresh blueberries, honey, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Roll out your pie crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the blueberry mixture into the center of the crust, leaving about two inches of border. Fold the edges of the crust over the blueberries, crimping them slightly as you go. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter, then brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle some sugar on top for extra sweetness. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Tips
- Fresh blueberries are best, but frozen can be used in a pinch; just make sure to thaw and drain them first.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with other fruits like peaches or cherries!
Make-Ahead
You can prepare the blueberry filling a day in advance. Store it in the refrigerator and assemble the galette just before baking to ensure a crisp crust.
Storing
Leftover galette can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep it longer, store it in the refrigerator where it will last for up to 5 days.
Freezing
For longer storage, you can freeze the unbaked galette. Just assemble it as directed, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, do not thaw; simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Reheating
To reheat, place the galette in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Blueberry Galette with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. Fresh mint leaves can also make a lovely garnish!
