Pear and Nutmeg Galette
6 servings
60 minutes
Galette with pear and nutmeg is a refined dessert of European cuisine, harmoniously combining the fragility of the dough and the sweet juiciness of the pear. Galette has rustic roots and resembles traditional shapeless French pies. The delicate aroma of nutmeg adds sophistication to the dessert, while a hint of lemon juice balances the flavor. This pie is perfect for a cozy home tea time as well as for an elegant dinner with loved ones. It can be served warm or chilled, complemented by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
