This easy to make Strawberry Galette is the perfect summer dessert! Taking only a few minutes to prepare, this is an easy dessert or brunch recipe!
Strawberries are very affordable in the summer because they are in season. I love stocking up on fresh strawberries and making different recipes. This Strawberry Galette is perfect for dessert, breakfast, or brunch! It looks impressive, but it's very easy to make!
I love using fresh strawberries and already shared this popular Strawberry Jam, Honey Lime Fruit Salad, Strawberry and Cream Pastries, and also these fun Strawberry Basil Margaritas which are perfect for summer!

A galette is great because it's basically a fake pie! Using a homemade pie crust is an option, however I like to use the pre-made pie crusts because it makes the strawberry galette incredibly quick and easy!

How to make a Strawberry Galette:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Preheat the oven and prepare the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, add strawberries and sprinkle with sugar, orange juice, and cornstarch. Stir and aside for about 15 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll the pie dough out a bit, set onto a parchment lined baking sheet; set aside.
- Spoon strawberries and juice into the center of the dough, leaving about 1.5-2 inches at the edges (so you have dough to fold up and over).
- Fold dough up and over the sides of the strawberries, working your way all the way around.
- In a small bowl, add egg and water; whisk quickly for 15-30 seconds or until frothy. Using a pastry brush, brush egg wash over all visible dough. Sprinkle dough/egg wash with a light layer of sugar. Add butter pieces to the top of the strawberries, scattering around.
- Place into middle of oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until crust is beginning to brown and strawberries are bubbly.
- Allow to cool for 20 minutes, slice, and serve!
There are barely any ingredients and work to this recipe, which in my book makes it a perfect ten. You can also use pretty much any fruit or fruit combo – the more the merrier. I would serve this up as a dessert or even at a brunch. It’s so delicious and versatile, and I love how rustic and trendy it is too. I also LOVE how beautiful the fruit looks displayed at the top. In a ‘real’ pie, the filling is hidden, which makes for a nice surprise, but this is definitely more beautiful.
