Ingredients:
- 1 premade pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Zest of half a lemon
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss gently to coat the blueberries evenly.
-
Roll out the pie crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the premade pie crust into a rough circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. Transfer the rolled-out crust to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Add the filling: Arrange the blueberry filling in the center of the pie crust, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of crust around the edges.
-
Fold the edges: Gently fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling, overlapping slightly as you go around. Press gently to seal any cracks.
-
Brush with egg wash: Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg. This will give the galette a beautiful golden color when baked.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
Cool and serve: Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
-
Optional: Sprinkle the galette with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness before serving.
