Blueberry and Greek Yogurt Breakfast Galette

I’ll never forget the first time I shared a pie with my husband. It wasn’t the pie per se, but how he ate the leftovers the following day that shocked me.

He pulled the pie out of the fridge, scooped a slice into a bowl, and poured milk all over it. Spoon in hand, he tucked into his bowl of pie and milk as if it were a bowl of cereal and looked up to see me picking my jaw off the floor.

Pie for breakfast? Swimming in milk? 

Yes. And apparently, it was the way he grew up eating pie. This was confirmed when my father-in-law was visiting, and I saw the older version of my husband eating pie for breakfast in the same fashion.

Have you tried it? After giving it a try, it makes sense! And when I welcomed Anna Olson to the podcast to discuss her newly released cookbook, I was excited to see a recipe I knew my husband would love. 

Anna Olson’s Baking Wisdom: The Complete Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Make You a Better Baker (affiliate link) shares Anna’s recipes and top tips to help you easily bake and troubleshoot like a pro. In it, she shares a blueberry and Greek yogurt breakfast galette. Now, you know how much I adore a galette – after all, it is, in its simplest form, a rustic and approachable pie. This blueberry galette is filled with creamy honeyed yogurt and topped with fresh blueberries, and since there is no refined sugar, it really is ideal for brunch and breakfast! I couldn’t wait to see if my husband approved.

I’m happy to report that he gave the galette high marks, particularly for the flaky, buttery crust. He didn’t even need to add milk :)

How to Make Blueberry Galette

With no refined sugar and just a touch of honey, this blueberry galette works wonderfully as a summer breakfast pastry. It is made with classic pie dough, packed with fresh blueberries, and brightened with lemon zest. So simple to make and such a treat!

This recipe can be made as one large galette or it can be made into six individual galettes if you prefer individual servings. The preparation is the same.

Instructions

Make the Classic Pie Dough

• Combine the dry ingredients by stirring the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the oil. Using a pastry cutter, electric beaters or a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend until the flour looks evenly crumbly.

  Adding a little vegetable oil to the flour before adding the butter is another secret for tender and flaky pie dough. The oil coats the flour so that it won’t overhydrate when the water is added. Too much water develops the protein in the flour, which is why a crust becomes tough or shrinks when it bakes.
• Add the butter and cut in until the dough is rough and crumbly, but small pieces of butter are still visible.

  Working with cool—but not ice-cold—butter is easiest. Pull your butter from the fridge for about 30 minutes before making your dough, and it will cut into the flour quickly and more evenly.
• Add the liquids. Place the water and vinegar (or lemon juice) in a small bowl, stir together and then add all at once to the flour mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together. Shape it into two discs, wrap well and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.

  While butter is ideal, if you prefer to use vegetable shortening, omit the oil and increase the added water to 7 Tbsp (105 mL). This balances the fat-to-water ratio, since butter is 80% fat and shortening is 100% fat.
• If you are not making the galette immediately, refrigerate the dough, well wrapped, for up to 2 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before rolling.

Make the Galette

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pull the pie dough from the fridge 30 minutes before rolling. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Dust a work surface with flour.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a circle just less than 1⁄4 inch (6 mm) thick and about 16 inches (41 cm) across. Carefully lift the pastry onto the prepared baking tray and leave it untrimmed. 
If making individual galettes, it’s OK if your rolled-out pastry pieces overlap on the baking tray. Just make sure you have space to add the yogurt and blueberry fillings to each one.
• Fill the galette. Combine the Greek yogurt with the honey and lemon zest, then whisk in the egg. Dollop the yogurt in the centre of the dough and spread it out to about 6 inches (15 cm) across. Sprinkle the blueberries over the yogurt. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling in five to six folds.

  Make the egg wash by whisking together the egg and water. Brush the top of the pastry with egg wash.
• Bake the galette for about 40 minutes, until the pastry is a rich golden brown.
• Cool the galette on a rack for at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room 
temperature, drizzled with honey. 
The galette will keep, wrapped in plastic, in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

Notes from Liren

I found that rolling out the dough to a 10-12 inch diameter circle worked well (rather than 16 inches) considering the 6-inch diameter of yogurt and fruit filling, leaving enough dough to fold over around the perimeter.

Notes from author Anna Olson:

“This fruit pie has a rustic look because the pastry half-covers the fruit in overlapping folds. Although it makes a delicious dessert, I like to serve the galette as a breakfast or brunch pastry. It is made with no refined sugar and only a touch of honey. If you prefer individual galettes, divide the dough into six pieces and then roll and fill them.”

“
You can substitute any tender, fresh fruit for the blueberries: raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and diced rhubarb, peeled and diced peaches or even spiced plums. Fresh fruits hold their shape better for this simple galette; they let off less liquid, allowing the filling to hold its shape well and not seep through the pastry.”
