Description

This Blackberry, Feta, and Honey Galette is a beautifully rustic and elegant dessert that combines the tartness of fresh blackberries with the creamy, tangy richness of whipped feta cheese. Sweetened with honey and balanced with a flaky homemade pie crust, this galette is perfect for a sophisticated summer treat or any time you crave a naturally sweet and tangy baked good.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • ½ recipe homemade pie crust

Blackberry Filling

  • 12 ounces (340g) fresh blackberries
  • 2 Tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon (15mL) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Feta

  • 6 ounces (170g) feta cheese
  • ½ cup (113g) full fat sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons (42g) honey (plus more for serving)
  • 1 Tablespoon (15mL) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon (15mL) fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pie Dough: Ensure your homemade pie crust is properly chilled or thawed if frozen. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface or parchment paper into a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to a baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator until needed.
  2. Make Blackberry Filling: In a medium bowl, combine fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss to mix, allowing some berries to start breaking apart if necessary. Chill the mixture until ready to use.
  3. Prepare Whipped Feta: Using a food processor or strong blender, combine feta cheese, full fat sour cream, honey, olive oil, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy or to your desired texture. Set aside.
  4. Assemble Galette: Remove chilled pie dough from refrigerator. Spread whipped feta evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges to create a 9-10 inch circle of feta. Evenly scatter the blackberry filling over the whipped feta layer.
  5. Fold Dough Edges: Carefully fold the edges of the pie dough up and over the filling, creating a rustic border. Press edges gently to seal; use a bit of water if necessary to help the dough stick. Chill the assembled galette in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up before baking. It can be chilled up to 8 hours, covered to prevent drying.
  6. Preheat Oven: Position the oven rack in the middle and preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
  7. Bake Galette: Bake the chilled galette for 36-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Allow it to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve and Store: Serve the galette drizzled with additional honey, alongside ice cream or whipped cream if desired. Store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The baked galette freezes well for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator and warm before serving. Unbaked galette also freezes well if wrapped tightly and thawed properly before baking.

Notes

  • Ensure pie crust is well chilled before baking to maintain flakiness and structure.
  • Be gentle when mixing blackberries to keep some berries whole for texture.
  • If the dough edges aren’t sticking well, a light brush of water helps seal the galette.
  • Chilling assembled galette before baking helps prevent spreading and preserves the rustic shape.
  • Use full-fat sour cream and feta for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • The galette freezes well both baked and unbaked, enabling advance preparation.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven’s performance and galette size.
