A rustic and easy-to-make galette featuring a flaky crust, creamy sweetened cream cheese filling, fresh strawberries, and a subtle honey balsamic glaze that balances sweetness with tang.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the cold cubed butter. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, quickly cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  2. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons of ice water, tossing gently with a fork. Add up to 1 tablespoon more if dough feels too dry. When dough clumps together, form it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat 4 ounces softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon heavy cream if using. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, combine 2 cups sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Toss gently to coat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Spoon the strawberry mixture on top, spreading gently. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pleating as needed.
  7. Transfer the galette on parchment to a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the strawberries are bubbling. Tent edges with foil if browning too fast.
  8. While the galette bakes, warm 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat until combined and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  9. Once the galette cools slightly (about 10 minutes), drizzle the honey balsamic glaze over the top. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure a flaky crust. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling. If crust edges brown too quickly, tent with foil. For a shinier crust, brush edges with egg wash before baking. Blot excess strawberry juice to prevent soggy crust. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
