What Are Mini Strawberry Galettes?
Galettes are a rustic dessert that come from French cuisine, known for their free-form shape and simple preparation. Instead of using a pie dish like a traditional pie, galettes are made by folding the edges of the dough over a fruit filling.
These mini fruit galettes are smaller, individual versions—perfect for serving and great for portion control.

Step 1: Prep Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet or sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pie dough using a rolling pin.
Cut into dough circles (about 4 inches each). Gather scraps, form into a dough ball, and re-roll until you have enough rounds.
Step 3: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch.
Gently toss to create your strawberry mixture. This helps thicken the juices so your galettes don’t get soggy.
Step 4: Assemble
Place the filling in the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border.
Fold the edges of the galette up and over the fruit, creating that classic rustic look.
Step 5: Egg Wash & Sugar
Brush the crust with the beaten egg mixture and sprinkle with a sprinkle of raw sugar for that crisp, golden finish.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let the galettes rest on the lined baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips for the Best Mini Galettes
- Don’t overfill—too much filling creates too much liquid

- Add a little lemon juice or lemon zest for brightness
Variations and Ideas
- Add rhubarb for a strawberry-rhubarb filling
- Swap in blueberries or peaches
- Use almond flour in part of your crust for a nutty flavor
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat
Easy Mini Strawberry Galettes
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 store-bought pie crusts, cut into six 4-inch circles
- 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
- Turbinado sugar, for topping
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour your work surface, then roll out one of the pre-made pie crusts. Using a 4-inch round cutter (or a small bowl as a guide), cut out circles of dough. Gather and re-roll the scraps as needed until you have 6 rounds total.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the sugar and cornstarch. Toss gently until the berries are evenly coated.
- Place a portion of the strawberry mixture in the center of each dough round, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, gently pleating as you go.
- Whisk together the egg yolk and water, then brush it over the exposed crust. Sprinkle the edges with turbinado sugar for a crisp, sweet finish.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
- Let the galettes rest on the baking sheet for about 10–15 minutes before serving so they can set properly.
How to Store
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Reheat slightly before serving for the best texture.
