Pear and Ginger Galette

Pears can give an autumn dessert table a welcome change of pace. Sally McKenney’s galette at Sally’s Baking pairs them with crystallized ginger inside a butter pastry crust. The open center makes the fruit the focus, with the pastry forming a generous border rather than a lid.

Our suggestion is to make this the single sweet dish at a late brunch. Set it beside coffee and small plates, leaving the savory dishes to do the heavier work. At a dinner gathering, a narrow wedge would also offer a satisfying finish without introducing another elaborate course.
