Fall Pear Galette

Simple to make and delicious. I didn't feel like the caramel sauce was needed, but I'm sure it wouldn't spoil a thing. I threw this together a popped in the oven as dinner was cooking. I added a sprinkle of dried cranberries to the pear mixture before assembling the galette. Just enough to give it some interest but not enough to compete with the nutmeg and pears. Definitely a keeper!!

Super easy too.  The nutmeg is perfect with the pears.  I think one could easily sub apples here too.  I typically skip the caramel and go with some vanilla frozen yogurt or light whip cream on the side instead.  This is one of our staples.  I typically add about 5-8 minutes to the baking time to get a nice golden crust.

This is so easy and so good. Can make early in day and add sauce right before serving.

I used 5 pears but next time will use 4. It was a total mess trying to cut the pieces. The caramel is definitely needed, adds great flavor. A definite repeat.

I tried to make this for Thanksgiving. I followed the recipe exactly, but it came out a complete disaster. The pears were almost raw after 30 minutes (much harder to cook without the top crust keeping steam in), so I had to turn down the heat and cook MUCH longer. The end result was not very appetizing, and I ended up making an apple pie instead because i didn't want to serve this to company. We ate some later and the flavor was OK, but the crust was soggy and you couldn't taste the cheddar. Certainly will never make this again.

This is S-O-O-O easy! I omited the cheese and added a few rasberries and some chopped almonds. I served it with some vanilla ice cream and no sauce. Just delicious and not too filling. I have made this many times to great reviews...

Fabulous and gorgeous presentation.

Easy prep and great presentation. Trust in that the sugar will melt. Would recommend this recipe to anyone who needs an easy dessert for a small dinner party.
