Food and Recipes Desserts Pies Easiest-Ever Blueberry Galette 5.0 (1) Add your rating & review Celebrate blueberry season with a beautiful blueberry galette. It comes together quickly thanks to frozen puff pastry sheets—no fussing with pie crust. The jammy berry filling is made with a touch of dried culinary lavender, which adds a subtle floral aroma that pairs wonderfully with the fruit. (You can omit the lavender if you prefer.) It might seem like too much filling when you form the galette, but the blueberries will cook down a lot when they bake. Make sure that the edges of the dough are folded up and tucked under to keep the filling from leaking. Serve wedges of the galette with vanilla whipped cream, and prepare for happy eaters and many recipe requests.
