This strawberry and cream cheese galette is a quick and lazy way to enjoy delicious fruit pies in the summer!
Ingredients
- 375 g /13 oz prepared shortcrust pastry
Strawberry layer
- 400 g /14oz strawberries
- 75 g ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp flour
Cheese layer
- 250 g /8 oz full fat farmer's cheese or cream cheese
- 100 g /1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
- In a food processor or a blender combine farmer's cheese, one egg, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest, process until smooth. (Skip this step if using cream cheese. Simply combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes.)
- Slice the strawberries and gently toss with sugar and flour ensuring each slice is even coated. This step is important and prevents from too much liquid forming in the filling.
- Unroll the prepared pastry sheet and leave it on parchment paper it was packaged in. Spread the cheese mixture on it leaving a 2 inch border all around, then lay out the strawberry slices directly on top of the cheese in one layer.
- Pick up the sides of the parchment paper and carefully fold the sides of the pastry all around the filling, pinch the corners together and brush with the remaining beaten egg. Transfer on a baking sheet with the parchment paper and put in the fridge to firm up for 20 minutes.
- Take out of the fridge and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 180C/350F and bake for 30 minutes longer until golden. Let it cool for one hour before serving.
