Berry Galette

So I got a manicure AND pedicure today. This is kinda a big deal for me. I never get them because 1) kids and 2) time and 3) kids. But, things ave been more flexible so I took the opportunity to indulge a bit. Normally I hate it because they do your toes and then they do your fingers and then you wait and wait and countless hours of your life are gone. 

But today I went, first thing in the morning, had two ladies working on me, AND I got a gel manicure. The whole shebang took one hour and I was outta there. Not only that but I got a gel mani which means my nails were perfectly dry when I left and I didn’t have to fumble with my wallet or keys. This is the ONLY way I will be getting a manicure from here on out. I finally get it. Like, NOW I KNOW what all the fuss is about… about 7 years later 😉

But enough about that. Something else came into my life recently and it’s called a galette. Have you heard of them? Me either until like two months ago. I put “make a galette” on my summer bucket list but labor day came and went and it wasn’t checked off yet. So I made it!! Guys!! I can’t even tell you how easy this is. 

What is a galette? I like to think of it as a super laid back pie that is rough around the edges but charming and delightful. Pies are so uptight anyway. 

Galettes are so stinkin’ easy and Jaryd legit couldn’t get enough of it. Things that came out of his mouth in between bites: “mmmm, this is my kind of dessert, oh my god, mmm, I could eat this all day long.” I mean, they were mumbled of course but I took notes. Believe.

I had a similar reaction. I also took a million and one pictures because it’s absolutely gorgeous in my opinion and I couldn’t get enough. 

Plus it has no added sweetener and is shockingly easy with only five (a handful!!) ingredients. 

So here’s how you make this nomzy Berry Galette:

In your food processor combine the almond flour, sea salt, and melted butter. Yes, my butter is melted and not room temp. If you have room temp, great. If not, melted works too.

Process until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides and process again. 

Place the crust batter in plastic wrap and press it into a 1 inch patty. Place in the fridge for about an hour to chill. 

Remove the crust from the plastic wrap and place it between two pieces of parchment paper. 

Use a rolling pin to roll out the crust. If it cracks and is hard to roll, you may want to wait a few minutes until it is a bit softer. 

Roll the crust out into a circle, square, rectangle, whatever shape you desire. The awesome thing about galettes is there aren’t really any rules in my opinion. 

Take off the top layer of parchment paper off the crust and lift the crust up by the bottom piece and place it on a baking sheet. 

Pour berries into the center and use a rubber spatula to peel the crust up and fold it onto the berry center. 

Whisk an egg in a bowl and brush it around the outer crust. 

Bake in the own and top with your favorite low carb ice cream. I’m obsessed with this one.
