BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE GALETTE

Steps:

• Unroll the (room temperature) refrigerated pie crust and place it on a parchment or Silpat-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• While your pie crust is chilling, make your blueberry filling: in a medium bowl, toss together the blueberries, 1/3 cup sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and salt.
• In a separate bowl make your cheesecake filling: whisk together cream cheese, egg yolk, the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the nutmeg.
• Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the top of the unrolled pie crust, leaving a 1 ½ inch border.
• Top with blueberries, and fold the edges of the crust over the filling.
• Spread the rest of the cheesecake mixture over the top of the berries and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Place an inverted cookie sheet in the lower third of your oven and preheat oven to 425.
• Brush the edges of the crust with a beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Place baking sheet with the galette on it directly on top of the inverted cookie sheet.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crust is golden. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

Steps:

• Make the dough: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, vinegar and salt in a food processor until combined.

Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; shape into a disk, wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round between 2 sheets of floured parchment paper. Remove the top piece of parchment and invert the dough onto the prepared baking sheet; remove the other piece of parchment. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
