Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons sugar, divided

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Pinch of salt

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, chopped basil, 1 tablespoon of sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the strawberries are coated. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to draw out the juices.

      Roll Out the Crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer the crust to the prepared baking sheet.

        Add the Filling: Spoon the strawberry mixture onto the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.

          Fold the Edges: Gently fold the edges of the crust over the strawberries, pleating as you go to create a rustic look. Don't worry if it isn't perfect; the galette is meant to be free-form.

            Egg Wash: Brush the exposed crust edges with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden color when baked.

              Sprinkle Sugar: Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar over the galette, focusing on the crust and any visible strawberries.

                Bake: Transfer the galette to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbly.

                  Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the galette from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.

                      - Presentation Tips: Serve slices of the galette warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar, and garnished with a sprig of fresh basil for a touch of elegance. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat!
