By VegasBartender

Free-form tarts called galettes or crostadas are a lovely way to showcase fresh berries. A cheesecake-like custard provides a creamy contrast to the tart berries.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line 17x12x1-inch pan with parchment paper.

2. In food processor, pulse cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the sugar and cornstarch until smooth. Add egg yolk, lemon peel and vanilla; pulse until blended.

3. On floured pastry cloth or surface, carefully roll dough into 14-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick, turning and adding additional flour as needed, making sure dough does not stick. Gently roll up dough; transfer to pan. Unroll dough. (Edges of dough will drape over rim of pan.) Spread cream cheese mixture over dough, leaving 2-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle berries evenly over cream cheese mixture. Fold uncovered border of dough up and over filling, pleating as necessary.

4. In small bowl, whisk together egg white and water. Brush lightly over edge of dough. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar evenly over berries and dough edge.

5. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Leaving galette on parchment, carefully slide onto wire rack. Cool.
