Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 1
    sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1
    egg
  • 1
    teaspoon cool water
  • ¼
    cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼
    cup heavy cream
  • 3
    tablespoons plus 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar, divided
  • ¼
    teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½
    teaspoon lemon zest
  • Ground nutmeg
  • 18
    ounces mixed berries, rinsed and patted dry

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 400 F.

  2. 2

    On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry just to smooth the creases. Trim the edges, transfer it to a sheet pan, and using a sharp knife, lightly score a square 1-inch in from the edges.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the dough.

  4. 4

    Bake the pastry for 15 to 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Let cool completely, then using the back of a fork, press the inside rectangle down to flatten it, leaving the edges tall to form a crust.

  5. 5

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cream, 1½ teaspoons of the sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and a pinch of nutmeg. Add the berries and stir until well coated.

  6. 6

    Transfer the berries to the cooked pastry shell and spread evenly.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the berries with the remaining sugar. Place an oven rack 5 inches from the top and heat the oven to broil.

  8. 8

    Cover the galette crust with aluminum foil. Broil, watching carefully, until the sugar melts, browns and begins to harden, about 5 minutes.

  9. 9

    Transfer the galette to a cutting board and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve immediately.
