Pineapple-Blueberry-Basil Galette


I love these gorgeous freeform, rustic pies. And the fillings are limitless. You may be scratching your head a bit at the combination used for the filling of this galette, but be assured that this is one fantastic dessert. When combining herbs with fruit and you simply won’t believe how well the basil plays with the tart pineapple and fresh summery blueberries.
And guess what else, it’s cooked on the grill. Just make your galette and when you’ve finished cooking the burgers, pop it on to bake while you enjoy dinner. It gets a very slight smoky taste that only adds to its deliciousness.

Pineapple-Blueberry-Basil Galette

Ingredients:
1 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
1 cup (about 6 oz.) blueberries
1/2 a whole pineapple
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon apple jelly, melted
1 egg

Directions:
Heat a gas or charcoal grill so that the temperature is maintaining a steady 375°. If your grill doesn’t have a thermometer, aim for a medium-hot heat.
Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature as instructed on the package.
Meanwhile, prepare the fruit for the recipe. Wash the blueberries and let drain on a paper towel. Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the prepared blueberries and pineapple with the basil, flour, and one tablespoon of the sugar. Toss everything together so that the fruit is well coated with the flour and sugar.
Unroll the pie crust onto a pan. Brush the surface of the pie crust with half of the melted apple jelly.
Mound the pineapple-blueberry-basil filling in the center of the crust leaving a 2” margin all around. Bring the crust up over the filling creating a freeform, rustic edge.
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush all the exposed crust with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the remaining sugar on the egg-washed pie crust.
Place the pan on the indirect heat side of your grill. Close the grill cover and cook for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is nicely browned and the filling is bubbly.
Remove and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Just before serving, brush the top of the fruit with the remaining melted apple jelly.
