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!

Servings

Imagine this: a warm galette fresh out of the oven, fragrant and golden-brown, waiting to be shared with family and friends. Serve it warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a delightful contrast. 🍦😋
Or take a casual approach and enjoy it with a cup of coffee during brunch – perfect for those lazy weekend mornings! ☕️💖
For a fancy dinner party, cut it into wedges and plate it elegantly, garnishing with fresh mint leaves and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Your guests will be wowed!

Variations

Have dietary preferences? No worries! Let’s explore some fun variations! 🌱👍
For a gluten-free option, simply substitute the filo dough with a gluten-free pastry or make a crust from almond flour or crushed oats! Embrace the nutty flavors! 🌾🥜
If you need a vegan version, swap the cheese with a coconut yogurt blend or a vegan cream cheese substitute. And instead of butter, use coconut oil to keep everything plant-based while still being delicious! 🌿🌟

Faq

  • Can I use fresh or frozen strawberries?

    Fresh strawberries are ideal, but if frozen is all you have, just let them thaw and drain excess liquid before using.

  • How can I prevent the filo dough from tearing?

    Keep filo covered with a damp towel while you work to maintain moisture. Handle with care, as it’s delicate!

  • Can the galette be made in advance?

    Yes! Assemble it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Bake before serving for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste!

  • What other fruits can I use in the galette?

    You can use a variety of fruits like blueberries, peaches, or apples. Mix and match based on your taste!

  • Is it possible to adjust the sweetness of the filling?

    Absolutely! Feel free to add or reduce sugar according to your taste preference.

  • What can I substitute for vanilla sugar?

    You can use regular granulated sugar with a teaspoon of vanilla extract as a great substitute!
