Potato and Pear Galette with Roquefort



This was indeed effortless and so delicious.  Who doesn’t love potatoes and melted cheese? 
 
It was a challenge to slice the potatoes into 1/16” slices; I should have used the mandolin.  This may have been the reason it took much longer to bake and brown than indicated.  I ended up putting the galette under the broiler for 4 minutes to brown it up a bit and add a little crispiness.  With baking and broiling it ended up taking a whopping 45 minutes to cook.

At first I thought the chopped pears were lost in this dish. But after the second bite I discovered it was the sweetness of the pear that balanced the sharpness of the Roquefort.  The pear definitely added to the smooth creaminess.  With the galette I prepared a lightly floured and browned chicken breast, finished in the oven for 15 minutes and a veggie loaded salad.  We had my mom over for dinner; I think she liked it because all I heard out of her was mmm mm mmmmm.  Great job Rachel, I will do this one again.
