Berry Galette

All of my friends keep posting pictures of their European adventures and I can't get over how amazing their food looks! I’m familiar with the Italian classics such as gelato and caprese, but I’ve never seen French pastries such as galette or canelé. Since my Midnight in Paris moment will have to wait, I've decided to transform my kitchen table into my own Paris terrace with a warm, ooey gooey berry galette!

This berry galette is SO good! As berry fanatics, we had to fill this treat with all the berries we could find. For the galette we cooked down strawberries, blackberries and blueberries to create the perfect filling to a warm, buttery base. 

Transport your kitchen table to your personal French terrace with this delicious berry galette! What berries do you think you'll use to create your own berry galette? We can't wait to hear what you think in the comment section below!
