Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 tablespoon granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought for convenience or homemade)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Optional: powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Gently toss the mixture until the strawberries are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 20 minutes. This maceration process helps draw out juices, enhancing the flavor and sweetness of the strawberries.

    Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pre-made pie crust (or your homemade crust) into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter, ensuring it is about 1/8 inch thick. If you are using a store-bought crust, take care not to tear it while rolling.

      Assemble the Galette: Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the strawberry mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating it as needed to create a rustic appearance and allowing the center with the strawberries to remain exposed.

        Add Butter and Egg Wash: Scatter the small pieces of unsalted butter evenly over the strawberry filling. In a separate small bowl, beat the egg. Using a pastry brush, apply the egg wash over the crust to give it a beautiful golden sheen when baked.

          Chill and Bake: Place the assembled galette in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up the dough before baking. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). After chilling, bake the galette in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling with juices.

            Cool and Chill: Remove the galette from the oven and allow it to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. If you prefer a chilled dessert, transfer the galette to the refrigerator and allow it to cool completely before serving.

              Serve: Slice the galette into 8 wedges and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy this delightful summer dessert on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
