Blueberry Galette (Rustic Tart)
What is a Galette? It is simply a French term for a flat round or rustic tart with folded edges. They are so easy to make! You can certainly make your own pie crust, but take the shortcut and use refrigerated boxed crust that is already to go. You can adapt this recipe to any of your favorite summer fruits. This is perfect when you need a quick dessert, and a beautiful presentation. This is excellent with vanilla ice cream!
