Ingredients
  

  • 1 puff pastry sheet, slightly thawed
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 4 oz ricotta or mascarpone cheese
  • fresh basil
  • powdered sugar

Instructions
 

For the Strawberry Jam:

  • Dice up 1-1 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries.   Add them to a small pot on the stove over low/medium heat with 1/4 cup sugar and 3 tbsp of water.  Let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until it becomes thick like a jam.  

To assemble the galette:

  • Chop another cup of strawberries, sprinkle with sugar, and set aside.  
  • Preheat oven to 375. 
  • Lay a piece of parchment paper on countertop.  Sprinkle lightly with flour and then lay a sheet of slightly thawed puff pastry on the parchment.  Use a rolling pin to thin the puff pastry out just a little bit.
  • Spread a large circle of ricotta or mascarpone cheese into the middle of the pastry.   Top it with a layer of the strawberry jam.  Add the cut strawberries on top and sprinkle with fresh basil. 
  •  Roll in all of the sides so you form a crust (kind of like a pizza crust).   
  • Transfer the parchment paper with the galette to a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is perfectly browned. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.  A side of ice cream is strongly encouraged!
