Broccoli, Blueberry & Goat Cheese Galette

METHOD

1. Step 1: Heat the oven

   Set oven to 210°C. Line a tray with baking paper.

2. Step 2: Roast the broccoli

   Cut the broccoli into very small florets. If the stem is tender, peel and slice it thinly. Toss with:

   • Olive oil
   • A pinch of salt
   • 1/2 tsp honey

   Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until tender and a little charred at the edges. Keep it fairly dry.

3. Step 3: Bake the pastry

   Put the puff pastry on the tray. Score a border about 1 cm in from the edge. Prick the center all over with a fork. Sprinkle the border with the 1 tsp sugar. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, until crisp and deeply golden. If the middle rises too much, press it down gently while warm.

4. Step 4: Make the goat cheese mixture

   Mix:

   • Goat cheese
   • Crème fraîche or yogurt
   • Pinch of salt
   • Black pepper
   • 1/2 tsp honey

   It should be smooth enough to spread in a thin layer.

5. Step 5: Prepare the blueberries

   Blend most of the blueberries, keeping 6–7 whole berries aside.

6. Step 6: Assemble

   Spread the goat cheese mixture thinly over the warm pastry. Add small spoonfuls of blended blueberries and a few whole berries. Top with the roasted broccoli. Finish with:

   • Toasted nuts
   • Basil or thyme
   • Black pepper
   • A very light drizzle of honey

7. Step 7: Serve

   Serve warm or just at room temperature.
