1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter or glass to cut out small circles of pastry (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
In a bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss gently to combine.
Spoon the blueberry mixture into the center of each pastry circle, leaving a border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the pastry up around the blueberries to form a rustic tart shape, leaving the center exposed.
Beat the egg and brush it over the edges of the pastry to achieve a golden finish when baked.
Dot the top of the blueberries with small pieces of butter.
Place the galettes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy, and the blueberries are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with honey (optional) before serving.

Notes

Berry Variations: Swap blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries for a different flavor.
Vegan Option: Use plant-based puff pastry and substitute the egg wash with a non-dairy milk wash.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes to restore the flakiness.
