Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

Galette crust

  • 1 Sheet Puff Pastry defrosted and rolled to a 12" circle

Galette filling

  • 1 Cup Cream Cheese, room temperature
  • ¼ Cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 Large Egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 Pint Fresh blueberries Rinsed and dried

Almond crumble topping

  • ½ Cup Sliced almonds
  • ¼ Cup Brown sugar use light or dark
  • Cup Oatmeal use old fashioned oatmeal
  • 2 Tablespoons All purpose flour
  • 5 Tablespoons Unsalted butter cold, cut into ⅓" cubes

Galette finishing

  • 1 Large Egg lightly whisked

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉ (205℃)

Almond Crumble Topping

  • Combine brown sugar, oatmeal, and flour in a bowl.
    ¼ Cup Brown sugar, ⅓ Cup Oatmeal, 2 Tablespoons All purpose flour
  • Add butter cubes to bowl. Work butter into the mixture with your fingers, breaking up any large pieces.
    5 Tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • Add sliced almonds and stir well
    ½ Cup Sliced almonds
  • Place in refrigerator until ready for use.

Cream Filling

  • Place cream cheese and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix together until no lumps remain.
    1 Cup Cream Cheese, room temperature, ¼ Cup Granulated sugar
  • Add egg and vanilla extract to bowl. Mix well.
    1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 Large Egg, room temperature
  • Add fresh blueberries to the bowl. Use a spatula to gently stir them, being careful not to squish the berries.
    1 Pint Fresh blueberries

Assemble Galette

  • Generously sprinkle flour over your work surface. Roll out the puff pastry into a 12-inch circle. Place pastry on a piece of parchment paper.
    1 Sheet Puff Pastry
  • Lightly whip an egg and brush it on pastry. Tip: this helps prevent a soggy bottom by creating a barrier between the pastry and cream filling.
    1 Large Egg
  • Spoon the blueberry cream filling into the middle of the pastry and spread it out leaving a slight mound - but make sure to leave about 2 inches of empty space around the edges—this part will be folded over to form the galette.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling a few inches at a time, working your way around the galette. If the pastry doesn’t stick in place, lightly brush it with some of the beaten egg to help it stay folded.
  • Evenly sprinkle almond crumble topping over the filling - avoiding getting any on the exposed pastry.
  • Brush more beaten egg over the folded edges of the pastry. This helps keep it from burning in the oven and gives it a nice golden color.

Bake Galette

  • Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Filling will have risen and puff pastry will be a dark golden color.
  • Place galette on a cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Storage - dessert is best enjoyed on the day it's made. If you need to store it, place the galette in an airtight container and keep in your fridge for up to two days. Note that this dessert does not freeze well.
