Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Combine the egg, cottage cheese, and butter in a food processor or blender until smooth.
In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cheese mixture and quickly knead the dough using a spatula or your hands.
Divide the dough into two equal parts and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Assemble the Galette

Roll out the dough into a circle. Arrange pieces of pear, alternating with slices of Camembert cheese.
Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and drizzle with honey.
Fold the edges of the galette and brush the edges with a beaten egg.

Step 3

Bake

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the galette for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

Servings

✨ **Serve the galette warm for the ultimate experience** - the cheese will be gooey, and the pears will enhance their natural sweetness.

🥂 **Pair it with a glass of crisp white wine or a light red wine** - this elevates the flavors to gourmet level.

🍨 **For a dessert option, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top** - the hot and cold combination will be divine!

🌿 **Garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary** - their aroma complements the honey and walnut flavors.

🥗 **Pair with a light salad** - make it a complete meal by adding some greens with a tangy vinaigrette.

Variations

🌾🌿 **Gluten-free Version**: Substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Look for blends that contain xanthan gum for better texture.

🍃✨ **Vegan Version**: Use a vegan butter substitute, and replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, let it sit for a few minutes). Swap the Camembert for a vegan cheese alternative.

Faq

  • Why is my dough too sticky to handle?

    Make sure your butter is just soft, not melted. Adding a bit more flour gradually can also help.

  • Can I make this galette without a food processor?

    Yes, you can mix the ingredients by hand or use a hand mixer. The texture might be slightly different but will still be tasty.

  • How do I know when the galette is done baking?

    The crust should be golden brown and the cheese nicely melted. Check after 30 minutes.

  • Can I use other fruits instead of pears?

    Absolutely! Apples, figs, or even stone fruits like peaches can work wonderfully.

  • How do I prevent the bottom of my galette from getting soggy?

    Sprinkle a bit of flour or ground nuts on the dough before adding the filling. This absorbs any excess moisture.

  • Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?

    Yes, you can refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge before using.
