Preparation

Step 1

Oven rack lowest position - heat oven to 400.

Mix cream cheese, confectioners sugar, 2 Tbsp. cornstarch and egg yolk in a medium bowl.

In a separate medium bowl, mix fruit, 2 Tbsp. sugar, remaining tbsp. of cornstarch and vanilla or almond extract.

Unfurl pie dough on a lightly floured surface and roll to about 13 inches in diameter. Slide onto a cookie sheet or pizze pan and spread evenly with cream cheese mixture, leaving a 2" border. Scatter fruit evenly over cream cheese mixture. Fold pastry borders over the fruit (it will not cover the entire tart - only the outer edges). Brush dough perimeter with egg white and sprinkle with a little sugar.

Bake galette until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Loosen with a metal spatula and slide onto a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
