Pie dough: Homemade or store-bought, chilling it before rolling helps keep that flaky texture.
Fresh blackberries: Fresh is best but frozen can work if thawed properly—just keep that in mind.
Granulated sugar: Balances the tartness of the berries without overpowering.
All-purpose flour: Helps thicken the blackberry filling so it’s not too runny once baked.
Fresh lemon juice: Adds brightness and elevates the fruit’s natural flavors.
Vanilla extract: Subtle warmth that hints at sweetness without being sugary.
Feta cheese: The star of the whipped cheese—use full fat for creaminess and boldness.
Full-fat sour cream: Lightens the feta, helping to create a smooth whipped texture.
Honey: Both in the whipped feta and as a drizzle, it’s essential for balancing salty and sweet.
Olive oil: Adds silkiness and a hint of richness in the whipped feta without heaviness.

Make It Your Way

This Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe is wonderfully forgiving, so I love encouraging a little personalization. Whether you swap in different berries or try adding herbs, feel free to make it yours.

Variation: I've often swapped blackberries for blueberries or mixed berries—each adds a slightly different flavor profile that’s just as delightful.
Dietary swap: For a lighter version, I sometimes replace sour cream with Greek yogurt. It keeps that tangy creaminess but cuts calories.
Texture twist: If you prefer a chunkier whipped feta, pulse it less; it adds a rustic feel that I personally adore.

Step-by-Step: How I Make Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe

A single slice of fruit tart sits on a white plate, showing three main layers: a light golden-brown crust around the edge, a creamy pale filling underneath, and a topping of large, glossy blackberries that are deep purple with some red highlights, dripping slightly with juice. The slice has a silver fork placed to the right on the plate. In the background, more of the tart is visible, along with a small glass bowl of light honey and a wooden honey dipper resting across it. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface with a purple cloth partially visible in the front corner. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 2:3 --v 7

Step 1: Roll Out Your Pie Dough

Start with a chilled pie crust—that’s key for that signature flakiness. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface or parchment paper until it’s about 12 inches in diameter. I like to transfer it on the parchment straight onto a baking sheet for easy handling. Pop it back into the fridge to keep it cold while prepping the filling.

Step 2: Mix Your Blackberry Filling Gently

In a bowl, toss your fresh blackberries with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla. Be gentle here—you want to coat the berries but avoid crushing too many. The flour helps keep the juices from turning your galette soggy, while the lemon juice brightens things up beautifully.

Step 3: Whip Up That Heavenly Feta Spread

Using a food processor or blender, combine feta, sour cream, honey, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy. This step might be my favorite part—it turns salty, crumbly feta into a dreamy spread that’s just begging to be scooped onto your dough.

Step 4: Assemble Your Galette

Take your chilled dough and spread the whipped feta in a circle, leaving about a 2-inch border free. Next, scatter the blackberry filling on top—don’t worry if it layers up a bit. Fold the edges of the dough up over the filling, gently pleating it to secure. If the dough feels dry or won’t stick, a tiny dab of water does the trick. Chill it again in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before baking—this helps the dough stay crisp and hold its shape.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden and Bubbling

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Bake the galette on the middle rack for about 36-40 minutes until the crust is beautifully golden and the blackberries are bubbling. I like to let it sit on the sheet for 15 minutes after baking—it helps the filling set so you get perfect slices every time.

Top Tip

Having made this Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe many times, I know that a few small tricks really make a difference. Paying attention when folding the crust and chilling the galette before baking sets you up for success.

Keep it cold: Always chill your dough and galette while assembling—warm dough can be tricky and chewy.
Don’t overload the filling: Too much filling sogs up the crust. You want a good balance so the crust crisps up nicely.
Use parchment paper: It makes transferring and cleanup so much easier, and prevents sticking.
Honey drizzle last: Wait to drizzle honey until right before serving so it stays fresh and glossy.

How to Serve Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe

Blackberry Feta Galette - Serving Suggestion

Garnishes

I love to finish this galette with a fresh drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves or lemon zest for that extra pop of color and flavor. Sometimes a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side turns it into an unforgettable dessert that everyone raves about.

Side Dishes

This galette pairs beautifully with a fresh salad for brunch or a light lunch. Try it with baby arugula, toasted nuts, and a simple vinaigrette to contrast the sweet and savory tones of the galette.

Creative Ways to Present

For special occasions, I’ve served individual mini galettes by making smaller crust rounds. Topping each with a tiny sprig of thyme and a small drizzle of honey turns these into impressive little sweets that feel boutique but are so easy to make.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

I store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the fridge. It keeps well for up to 4 days. I find slicing the galette before storing makes it easier to serve later without crumbling the crust.

Freezing

You can definitely freeze this galette—both baked and unbaked. For the unbaked galette, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, freezing for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking. Baked galette freezes well too; just slice and wrap each piece individually for easy thawing.

Reheating

I like to reheat slices in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to bring back that flaky, crisp crust. Avoid microwaving if you can because it softens the crust and changes the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use frozen blackberries for the galette?

Yes, you can use frozen blackberries. Just be sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before mixing with the other filling ingredients to prevent a soggy crust.

Can I make the whipped feta ahead of time?

Absolutely! The whipped feta can be made up to one day in advance and stored tightly covered in the refrigerator. Just give it a quick stir before spreading on your dough.

Is this galette suitable for beginners?

Definitely! The freeform nature of a galette is very forgiving. You don’t need to fuss with perfect pie crust edges or complicated shaping, making this blackberry feta galette a great recipe for beginners.

How long can leftover galette be stored?

Leftover galette should be stored covered tightly in the refrigerator and is best consumed within 4 days to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
