- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed but firm
- 16.9 oz. wheel of brie
- 1 1/2 cups raspberries washed
- 2 cups cherries washed, pitted and halved
- 1 1/2 cups blackberries washed
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries washed
- 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Slice the Brie vertically and horizontally, creating a grid. When slicing horizontally, cut all the way through the bottom of the Brie and separate each piece.
Place a puff pastry sheet onto a sheet pan that's lined with oven-safe parchment paper. Put the brie onto the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 2-3 inch puff pastry border around the Brie. Leave a 1/4-1/2 inch space between the horizontal layers of brie (this is where you will put the berries.)
Place berries and cherries in between the horizontal slices (as many that will fit) and more around the edge of the cheese. Reserve 1/2 cup of cherries for the balsamic reduction. If you don't use all of the berries in the galette, keep the rest to serve on the side.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry around the brie and berries until everything is encased. Place the center of the 2nd top rack in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, until the galette is golden brown! Every oven is different - it took me 35 minutes, but the package said 25 minutes. Follow the package instructions, but continue baking if the puff pastry isn’t golden brown. If it’s just light golden, it’s under cooked!
As the galette is baking, work on the balsamic reduction. Heat a saucepan over medium high heat. Add the cherries and balsamic and mix. Cook for 10-15 minutes until reduced and thick. Remove from the heat and let it cool. Drizzle on top of the finished galette, or serve in a bowl on the side so people can serve themselves.
