STRAWBERRY HONEY GALETTE RECIPE

Ingredients

For the filling:

2 cups milk  

¼ cup local honey

 2 egg yolks 

1 egg

⅓ cup white sugar

¼ cup cornstarch

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 lb sliced strawberries, tossed with 2 tbsp. local honey

1 store-bought pie crust

Directions

Stir together milk and 1/4 cup honey in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.   

Whisk together egg yolks and egg in a medium bowl.

Stir together 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch in a separate bowl; stir into eggs until smooth.   

Pour boiled milk into egg mixture in a thin stream while mixing so eggs do not cook. Return egg mixture to the saucepan; slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent curdling and scorching.   When mixture thickens, remove from the heat and stir in butter and vanilla until thoroughly blended.

Pour into a container and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees, place pie crust in a pie pan or baking sheet and blind bake until the crust is golden brown, remove from oven and cool.

Place chilled pastry cream in pre-cooked pie crust and spread evenly. Top with sliced strawberries and drizzle with additional honey.

Serve cold.
