Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, egg, all-purpose flour, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and sugar.

Mix until the dough is uniform. Once combined, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.

Step 2

Roll Out the Dough

After the dough has chilled, take it out of the refrigerator. On a piece of parchment paper, roll the dough into a large circle, approximately 12 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Prepare the Pear Filling

Slice the pears thinly and arrange them in the center of the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1.5 inch border around the edge.

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, honey, and walls evenly over the sliced pears. For those with a sweet tooth, feel free to add a couple more tablespoons of sugar to taste.

Fold the edges of the dough over the pears to create a rustic galette shape.

Step 4

Brush with Butter

Melt the remaining unsalted butter and brush it over the folded edges of the dough to achieve a beautiful golden color when baked.

Step 5

Bake the Galette

Preheat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the galette on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until the edges are golden-brown and the pears are tender.

Once baked, let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Spiced Pear Galette warm!
