Delicious Pear and Cottage Cheese Galette Recipe

Begin by ensuring the butter is **cold**. Cut it into small pieces, about **0.5 cm** each. In a mixing bowl, combine the cold butter with the flour and salt.

Using a spatula, mix on a low speed until the mixture resembles **crumbs**. Next, add the cold sour cream and mix until the dough starts to come together into a **ball**.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of **4-5 mm** and refrigerate for **2-3 hours**. After chilling, roll out the dough again to **3 mm** thick and cut into circles for the galette.

In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and sugar, then blend until the mixture is **smooth**.

Take your ripe pear, and slice it thinly. Make sure the pear is **not too hard** and is at the right ripeness for the best flavor.

On each galette circle, spread a layer of the **cottage cheese filling**. Arrange the pear slices atop the filling.

Carefully fold the edges of the galette over the filling. **Brush** the edges with egg yolk and sprinkle with sliced almonds for an extra crunch.

Preheat your oven to **160-170°C** (**320-340°F**) and place the galettes on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately **20-30 minutes**, or until the pastry is **golden brown**.

If you want to freeze the raw galettes, first freeze them slightly, then vacuum seal and store them in the freezer.
