Nectarine and Blackberry Mini Galettes

Adapted from Bon Appetit, July 2002

I saw this recipe on a few different sites so I decided to give it a try with one major substitution.  My version uses store bought dough which saved me tons of time.  I like to use the brand French Picnic (available at Whole Foods).  Their product is amazing and no one will be able to tell it’s store bought. 

Ingredients

One box of French Picnic Pastry Dough (Includes 2 rounds each 9 inches)
8 ounces of blackberries

4 small nectarines (or 3 medium size nectarines)
1 ½ teaspoon cornstarch

¼ cup sugar
1 egg (beaten for glaze)


Prep Time: 10 mins plus 30 mins of wait time     Cook Time: 45 mins                  Oven Temp: 350

1. Wash fruit.  Pit and slice nectarines.

2. Whisk together sugar and cornstarch.  Add fruit to the bowl and stir to coat fruit in sugar mixture.  Let sit for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. After fruit has sat for 15 minutes, remove dough from freezer so that it can thaw.  After 10 minutes of thaw time, place dough on parchment paper. 

4. Place half the fruit in the center of the dough circle. Spoon in some juice that collected at the bottom of the bowl.  Brush edges with beaten egg.  Fold an inch border around the entire pastry, pinching the corners so that the border stands up right.

5. Next, fold over each side so that the pastry folds over the edges of the fruit. 

6. Repeat the process with second dough circle and remaining fruit.
7. Lightly brush edges on both galettes with egg glaze and sprinkle with sugar.

8. Place both galettes on a baking sheet and bake for 45 mins, rotating once half way through the bake time.
