Blueberry Galette
Description
Blueberry Galette showcases a circle of thawed puff pastry dough lightly rolled and filled with blueberries tossed with sugar, lemon juice, zest, and cornstarch to bind the juices. The edges of the pastry are folded up around the filling in overlapping folds to enclose the fruit partially. The dough is brushed with milk or cream and sprinkled with sugar to enhance browning and add subtle sweetness.
Baked at moderate temperature, the pastry develops a golden, flaky crust while the blueberry filling softens and thickens as the cornstarch activates. The sugared crust adds a crisp exterior contrasting the juicy interior. The lemon components brighten the berries and balance the sweetness.
This galette is best enjoyed slightly cooled to allow the filling to set, making it easier to slice. It pairs well with ice cream for added richness and is a simple yet elegant fruit dessert option that doesn't require pie dish or intricate crust work.

- Brush with milk or cream and sprinkle with a little extra sugar.
- Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp and the blueberries are soft, and the filling has thickened slightly.
