8/10 Previous Next

A strawberry rhubarb galette is the perfect way to showcase the sweet-tart flavors of spring and fall. Juicy strawberries and tangy rhubarb bake together until jammy, with just enough sugar to balance the tartness. The free-form crust crisps up golden brown, cradling the fruit in rustic elegance. Simple yet impressive, this galette is a timeless dessert that rivals any pie.

Ingredients (for 1 galette, 6–8 servings):

• 1 store-bought pie crust
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, sliced
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, toss strawberries and rhubarb with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
2. Roll out the pie crust on parchment paper and spoon the fruit mixture into the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
3. Fold crust edges over fruit, pleating as you go, and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
4. Bake 35–40 min. until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
5. Cool slightly before slicing and serving, ideally with vanilla ice cream.
