28 Oct Brie and Dried Apricot Puff Pastry Galette
With a holiday season upon us, we all look for quick and easy recipes that will work equally well for a family Thanksgiving dinner and celebratory wine tasting with friends. I’m not an exception! That’s why I’m so excited to present you with my latest culinary discovery – the glorious Brie and Dried Apricot Puff Pastry Galette.
What’s so great about this recipe?
First of all, this Brie and Dried Apricot Puff Pastry Galette is incredibly cheesy, buttery, and flaky. Secondly, after you thawed your puff pastry, it takes only 25 minutes to make this dish from start to finish. And lastly, I’ve never met a person who would not like it! So far, everyone who tried it had fallen in love with this fall-inspired galette. No wonder why! It has all the best stuff: slightly bitter orange marmalade, slices of luscious Brie cheese, sweet dried apricots, and a drizzle of floral honey to bring all the ingredients together. Try serving it as a quick Thanksgiving appetizer before the main celebration and see how much your friends and family will enjoy it! I guarantee it will be gone in just a minute.
Which wine to serve
Brie and Dried Apricot Puff Pastry Galette is flaky, sweet, and savory puff pastry pie and undoubtedly an ultimate crowd-pleaser. Although this pastry is really versatile, I’d stick to white wines. It goes amazingly well with buttery California Chardonnay and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc from Loire Valley, as well as floral riesling from Livermore which has hints of white flowers and candied orange. And this is just the beginning of the list! The world is your oyster. Just don’t be afraid to explore and experiment.
