When we made the blueberry pie, I discovered that I had a lot of dough left over. Viola! I made a galette. I didn't strictly make the galette as Dorie had it written. Let's just call it being creative. It had nothing to do with lazy.
The crust was already made and had been in the fridge overnight. I rolled it out on my Silpat, and then transferred it to a baking sheet. I layered on some ginger rhubarb jam, some cookie crumbs, and then some strawberries. I sprinkled on a little coarse sugar.
Here it is all pleated and ready to go into the oven.
And here it is, done, golden brown and delicious. I ate it for dessert that night. And then I'm pretty sure it was breakfast the next morning.
This is such a great way to use up extra dough and/or fruit. Since it's free form, it's very forgiving. I'd make it again in a heartbeat. One of these days I'll try the official version with the custard.
Coming next week: Ashlee of A Year in the Kitchen chose the Black and White Banana Loaf. Again, really good timing! I have bananas that are begging to be baked.

I think your galette looks so much better without the custard, I bet it tasted absolutely delicious!

UUUMMMM!!!! Strawberries. Looks good.
Your galette looks great! What a super idea to use the leftover dough from the blueberry pie to make the galette, and then to take pictures of it! You'll have to try it with the custard, cause that just took it up a notch! Great job!

what a lovely galette! your strawberries look so fresh and pretty. I dont think you needed the custard;)
Oh, very beautiful. Strawberries are my favs, so I was wondering if those would work or if they would get too juicy and mushy...they look fine, so thanks for sharing that as I am very happy to get to see that!
strawberry galette looks and sounds great!
Looks great! I need one of those Silpats... bad.
your galette looks awesome :)
Your strawberry galette looks delicious, I bet my husband would love the 'just strawberry' variation as he is picky with fruit. Great job!
That looks so Great!! Yum!
Freeform and forgiving is exactly what this is. Beautiful too!
Yum strawberries, your galette looks delicious!
Oh what a big red pile of strawberries. Yummmm....
Gorgeous galette! Great job thinking ahead with the dough!
It was surprisingly fast and easy. This one may join chocolate pudding as standard go-to recipes for quick desserts.
That was handy for you this week ;)
Your galette looks so good! Don't the strawberries look beautiful? I think it actually looks nicer without the custard :)
Your galette looks beautiful! I like the free form look, too. Great photos.
Gorgeous, gorgeous galette! And look at you, all one step ahead! I already made the sour blueberry ice cream, but did not take pictures :( Ah well...
Nice work!
Strawberries! Yummy!

You did the dessert ahead of time . .Yay! We all need a break at times, and the galette looks beautiful and Yummy! =D
your galette is beautiful! sounds like a great breakfast to me. :)
It's so simple, pie crust and fresh fruit. Ymm!
My husband gets a little grumpy about the dishes, too! That looks wonderful with the strawberries. Nice job!
Your crust looks awesome and the strawberries look all tucked in - nice and cozy!
your crust looks so perfect! beautiful. definitely try the custard next time :)
I agree, this is a very forgiving dessert. Yours looks fabulous!
Your galette turned out so nice. I really like your crust. It was fun to make and I will make it again. I really liked it with pears.
That's a beautiful galette!
I agree it looks prettier without the custard, but do try one sometime with the custard -- I liked the taste a lot and you might, too.
My husband swears I can use every pot, pan and dish in the kitchen when I get going. (He does the dishes, too. Sometimes with grumbling!)
