Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Phyllo Dough

Start by laying out the sheets of phyllo dough, overlapping them slightly. Brush the phyllo sheets generously with melted unsalted butter to add flavor and create a crispy texture.

Step 2

Make the Filling

In a deep bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolk. Blend the mixture using an electric mixer until you achieve a smooth consistency. This will serve as the rich base for your galette.

Step 3

Assemble the Galette

Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly across the phyllo dough, using a spatula to create a round shape. Be gentle while spreading to keep the phyllo intact. Make sure to leave some space around the edges for folding.

Step 4

Form the Edges

Next, fold the edges of the phyllo dough towards the center, creating a nice border around the filling. Brush the folded edges with melted butter to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 5

Add the Strawberries

Slice the strawberries and arrange them on top of the cottage cheese filling. Feel free to layer them as you like for a beautiful presentation.

Step 6

Bake the Galette

Brush the edges of the galette with more butter and sprinkle with almond flakes for added texture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes, or until the galette is golden and crisp. Enjoy your delicious creation with a scoop of ice cream!
