Print Recipe

This rustic and mouthwatering dish features a golden, flaky crust enveloping juicy slices of fresh pears, creamy blue cheese, and delicate, thinly sliced prosciutto. The unique qualities of this galette lie in the harmonious blend of flavors—the sweetness of the pears complemented by the tangy and rich blue cheese, all enhanced by the salty and savory prosciutto. Pair with a glass of wine or a crisp side salad and you’ve got yourself an elegant and delicious dinner. Let’s begin!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 store-bought pie crust or homemade pie crust
  • 2 ripe pears, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 4-5 slices of prosciutto
  • Rosemary, for garnish
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Arrange the thinly sliced pears in the center of the pie crust, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the pears, evenly distributing the savory flavor.
  5. Tear the prosciutto into pieces and place them on top of the blue cheese and pears.
  6. Scatter rosemary over the filling, adding a burst of aromatic taste.
  7. Carefully fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling, creating a rustic, free-form shape.
  8. Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  9. Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust turns golden and crispy.
  10. Once baked, let the galette cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional rosemary for a final touch of savory goodness.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm pears to maintain the texture and prevent the galette from becoming too mushy. Feel free to add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper for an extra touch of boldness. Serve the galette warm as a scrumptious appetizer or as a main dish with a side salad for a complete meal. Store any leftover galette in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat it briefly in the oven to enjoy the savory flavors again.

Chef’s tip: This galette pairs wonderfully with a crisp and refreshing white wine or a light rosé.
