1 Galette
- Serves:

ingredients
- 2 egg whites, whisked until frothy
- 9 ounces Roquefort cheese
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaf
- 1 3⁄4 ounces salted butter
- 2 large pears, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 teaspoon cumin seed
- extra rosemary (to garnish)
- 2 egg yolks, beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk
- salt
- pepper
directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Put the blue cheese into a bowl and lightly crush or mash it. Add the whisked egg whites and the creme fraiche. Add salt and black pepper to taste and mix it to a coarse paste. Set aside and then chill it.
- On silpat (or parchment) roll out one crust worth of dough an 11" circle and place on baking sheet (some of the dough may drape over the edge; this will be folded over the filling).
- Melt the butter in a shallow large pan & then add the pear slices, and about 3-4 tablespoons of water.
- Cook gently for about 6-8 minutes until the pears are tender but still holding their shape. Allow to cool.
- Arrange the pears over the chilled galettes in neatly overlapping circles and brush with a little melted butter.
- Sprinkle over the cumin seeds and a few extra rosemary leaves, season with salt and pepper and bring the edges of the pastry up and over the edge of the pears, to form a loose crust.
- Brush the tops of the galettes & the pastry with the beaten egg yolks & milk mixture.
- Bake galettes in preheated 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool about 10 minutes before serving.

As I am in South Florida, I have many edible fruits and perennial veggies in my yard. So, I like to cook with them.
