🍯 Why This Recipe Works
- Breakfast or dessert. Serve it up with whipped cream, ice cream, or as-is for a perfect summer treat!
- Easy to make. Just toss some stuff together for a filling and lay it on a flat pie crust before folding up the edges. This recipe is WAY easier than making a full pie.
- Perfect for single crust usage. I can't be the only one who often uses one crust from the box and struggles to think of how to use the other, haha. This recipe helps to use up that leftover crust.
🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Fresh strawberries- You'll need fresh strawberries that have been washed and dried before usage. If you still have strawberries to use try them in our Banana Bread With Strawberries and Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Dipped in Chocolate.
Black ground pepper- This is a "secret" ingredient that helps to cut down on the acidity in the strawberries and enhances their flavor so they taste more like a strawberry.
Prepared pie crust- You can use storebought crust or a homemade pie crust, depending on what you'd prefer. I like to use storebought to help save time. If you still have a crust leftover, use it in our Fresh Strawberry Pie.
Egg wash- An egg wash is some water and an egg. Brushing this over the crust will help it to turn a nice golden color when baked.
Turbinado sugar- This is an optional ingredient. I like to sprinkle it around the edge of my galette for a nicer appearance and slight crunch, but you can simply omit it.

🔪 Instructions for Rustic Strawberry Galette
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: Mix together the strawberries, granulated sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, lemon juice, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until combined.
Step 3: Lay a pie crust on top of a piece of parchment paper.
Step 4: Place the strawberry filling into the center of the pie crust.
Step 5: Prepare egg wash and brush it over the edges of the pie crust.
Step 6: Fold up the edges, crimping as you go to form a pocket that holds the filling in.
Step 7: Pick up the parchment paper and place it onto a baking sheet.
Step 8: Brush the crust with more egg wash and then sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Step 9: Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
🍴 Recipe Tips
- Simple Baking Method- Making this strawberry galette is easy and doesn't require much effort. You just need to lay out the crust, add the filling, fold the edges, and bake it.
- Use Parchment Paper- To make things easier and prevent sticking, assemble your galette on parchment paper. This makes it simple to transfer to and from the baking sheet.
- Allow Enough Time to Cool- After baking, let the galette cool for about 10-20 minutes. This helps the filling thicken, improving the texture. But if you're excited to enjoy it warm with ice cream, waiting for 10 minutes should be enough.
💭 Recipe FAQs
Fun fact, black pepper helps to cut down on the acidity of berries so you can expect sweeter results without the fear of biting into a sour strawberry. You can omit the pepper if desired but I really think it works perfectly in here as it's unnoticeable in flavor, but helps to bring everything together and enhance the flavors nicely.
Turbinado sugar is also known as sugar in the raw it's a more coarse sugar and golden brown in color. When added to baked goods it adds sweetness and crunch because it doesn't dissolve as quickly as a finer grain would.
A galette is like a pie's carefree cousin; it's not confined to a pie dish but bakes up beautifully on a baking sheet. Start with a single layer of pie dough rolled out into a big circle, and then get creative with fillings like apples or blueberries on top.
