RUSTIC PEAR
GALETTE
1 sheet of store-bought puff
pastry, thawed and chilled in the
refrigerator
2 pears, sliced thinly
1/2 granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
Vanilla ice cream (optional)

After so many savory flavors, a sweet
is needed to add that cherry on top of
an amazing brunch. This beautiful and
impressive rustic pear galette is so quick
and easy to prepare, you’ll have plenty of
time left over for that French lesson you’ve
been putting off.

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Take a baking sheet and
butter the bottom of the sheet. Take the puff pastry
and lay it on the baking sheet. With a fork, gently
poke the sheet in the middle and around.
2. In a mixing bowl, gently toss together the pears,
cinnamon and sugar until all the pears are fully
coated. Then, take the pears and carefully arrange
them on the pastry sheet, leaving edges for the crust.

3. Gently fold over the edges, creating a crust
around the pears. Then, take a butter and cut
them into small cubes and place them on top
of the pears.
4. Bake the galette in the oven for about 20
minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Let
cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and
serving
