Want to impress your friends with a dish that looks fancier than it is? Look no further! This blueberry lemon galette tastes like summer and is literally so easy to make. A galette is a hybrid of a pie and a tart and can easily be made to be sweet or savory.

Ingredients:

1 pack refrigerated pie crust

4 cups blueberries

1/4 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon flour

Pinch of salt

Zest and juice of a whole lemon

1 large egg, beaten

Pinch of brown sugar

 Instructions:

Heat the oven to 350 F.

 Roll out your premade pie crust onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.

 Put the blueberries into a large bowl. 

 Toss the berries with the white sugar, flour, salt, lemon juice and lemon zest. Make sure the blueberries are evenly coated!

 Adjust the sweetness or tartness of the fruit mixture to your liking. I personally like a tart flavor. 

 Add the fruit mixture to the center of your pie crust and spread, but leave a decent amount of room around the edges.

 Fold the excess dough in toward the blueberry mixture and make pleats as you go. This is where the galette’s structural integrity comes from. 

 Brush an egg wash over the pleated dough. This will give it a gorgeous golden crust! (I added a bit of brown sugar to my egg wash when I made this).

 Bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
