Cherry Basil Gallette
Fresh, juicy cherries combined with basil creates a beautiful galette that is the perfect dessert for summer!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh cherries, stems and pits removed
- 3 tbsp sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp torn basil leaves (about 5 basil leaves), plus more for garnishing
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 pkg (15 oz) refrigerated pie crust (1 crust), softened according to package directions OR homemade piecrust
- 2-3 tbsp softened butter, cubed
- 1 egg, beaten
- ice cream or whipped cream, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Remove the stem from the cherries, and use the Cherry& Olive Pitter to remove pits.
- Combine the cherries, sugar,cornstarch, basil, and lime juice; toss gently to combine. Let the mixture stand for 3–4 minutes.
- Unroll the pie crust and place it on the Cast Iron Sizzle Skillet.
- Pour the cherry mixture into the center of the pie crust, leaving about 2" (5 cm) uncovered around the edge. Fold the outer edge of the crust over the filling, overlapping every 2" (5 cm)to form an even border. Pinch the pleats to seal.
- Add the butter on top of the filling. Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with additional sugar.
- Bake for 28–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let it cool on the skillet for 20 minutes before serving. Top with additional basil and serve with ice cream and/or whipped cream, if you’d like.
