Ingredients
For the Pastry:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
6–8 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended for richness)
1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for extra tang)
For Assembly:
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Make the Pastry: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using cornstarch, whisk it with the lemon juice in a small bowl to create a slurry, then gently stir into the yogurt-berry mixture.
Assemble the Galette: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the Greek yogurt and blueberry filling onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Gently fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pleating as you go to create a rustic crust. Brush the folded crust edges with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is slightly set and bubbly. If the crust starts browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the galette with foil.
Cool: Let the galette cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a richer crust, you can add an extra tablespoon of butter to the dough.
If fresh blueberries are not in season, frozen blueberries can be used, but make sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid.
Serve warm or at room temperature. A dollop of extra Greek yogurt or whipped cream is a delicious addition.
Store leftovers loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
