Pear-Thyme Galette
Celebrate fall with an easy dessert, Pear-Thyme Galette! A galette is a rustic, free-form tart-made with a single crust of pastry. You can use refrigerated pie crust or frozen puff pastry to make a quick galette.
We love this combination of flavors! This recipe makes (2) 8-inch galettes which will be 8 generous servings or 12 smaller ones. Divide this recipe in half for 1 galette and 6 servings.
Ingredients needed for this easy and delicious galette are: Puff pastry, fig jam, Gorgonzola or blue cheese, sliced pears, walnuts, fresh thyme, honey and butter.
Follow the directions on the package of puff pastry for thawing. Lay your pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet or silicone baking mat and snip off the corners. Spread a thin layer of fig jam over your pastry, leaving a small border. Slice your pears, (no need to peel) and fan them out in a spiral pattern over the jam, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, Gorgonzola crumbles, thyme leaves and the honey-butter mixture. Fold the edges of the dough over to form a round tart. Bake at 400° F for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and use a spoon to remove any excess juices.
You can adapt this galette using your fruit of choice or in season, substitute apricot jam for fig, or use a different cheese like Brie for the Gorgonzola, as in this Apple & Honey Galette with Brie and Pomegranate Seeds.
