BERRY GALETTE
Nothing says summer like fresh berries baked up into a juicy dessert! Galettes are easier than pies, and I love the rustic look. I used raspberries and blueberries in this galette, but it works with a mix of any berries, or just one kind. Make sure you have ice cream or whipped cream to top it with!

Steps:
- Pulse flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor. Add butter and cream cheese; pulse until mixture looks like wet sand.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon ice water over the mixture. Pulse until dough just starts to clump together; add a bit more water if it looks very dry.
- Turn dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Gather and gently press together into a cohesive ball. Use the wrap to press dough out into a thick disk. Wrap well and chill until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dust a flat work surface with flour. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle, moving dough around frequently to prevent sticking. Trim edges if they look very rough. Fold up dough into quarters. Brush off excess flour and transfer to the baking sheet. Unfold gently.
- Refrigerate dough while preparing the filling.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine berries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl. Pour over berries and toss gently to combine.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator. Spread jam over the middle, leaving a thick border around the edges. Mound berries over the jam. Fold the edges of the dough over the berries and pleat it every few inches.
- Whisk egg and water together. Brush the border of the galette with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust is deep golden and juices are bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Check the underside of the galette is also browned. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let cool before slicing.

MIXED BERRY STRUDEL
This is a fantastic strudel, and is so very easy to make. You can substitute the Mixed Berry pie filling for Cherry or Apple pie filling. You can easily freeze these strudels when they are completely assembled, and when you want them, place strudel in 400F oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden.

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 12-by-8-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom. Place phyllo on a work surface and cover with plastic wrap.
- Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time, use a pastry brush to coat one side with butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar and fold sheet in half crosswise; butter the top. Transfer sheet, buttered-side up, onto half of prepared pan, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Repeat with a second sheet, butter, and granulated sugar, adding new sheet to other side of pan. Repeat process, buttering and sugaring phyllo, folding it over, and laying it in pan so sheets overlap in a random pattern as you build up a crust that extends all the way around the pan. Fold and ruffle edges to create an even border. Place pan on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until light brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Filling: Meanwhile, pulse hazelnuts, brown sugar, flour, and salt in a food processor until very finely ground. Pulse in butter and ginger until smooth. Pulse in eggs until smooth.
- Spread filling in an even layer over warm crust (fill crust immediately after it is out of the oven); top with berries. Bake until filling is puffed, set, and golden brown around the fruit, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. Tart is best eaten the day it's made.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh berries. If you're using frozen berries, thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overfill the phyllo shells. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal.
- Make sure the phyllo shells are well sealed before baking. This will prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Bake the phyllo flowers until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the phyllo flowers warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Berry-filled phyllo flowers are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a stunning dessert that will impress your guests.
