Balsamic Glazed Strawberry Galette
Celebrate the peak of strawberry season with this stunningly simple yet elegant Balsamic Glazed Strawberry Galette. This rustic dessert features a buttery, flaky homemade pastry crust that encases a vibrant filling of fresh, sliced strawberries tossed with a touch of sugar and cornstarch. The magic happens with a drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar, which caramelizes in the oven and enhances the strawberries' natural sweetness with a complex, tangy depth. Baked until the crust is golden and the berries are bubbling, this galette is a beautiful centerpiece that requires less precision than a traditional pie. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for the perfect contrast of temperatures and flavors. It's an impressive dessert for any spring or summer gathering.

Instructions
- 1Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse flour and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap, and chill for 30 min.
- 2Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 3Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, simmer balsamic vinegar and honey over medium-low heat until reduced by half and syrupy (about 5-7 min). Set aside to cool slightly.
- 4Make the filling: In a bowl, gently toss strawberry slices with sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
- 5Roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on the parchment paper. Transfer dough and parchment to the baking sheet.
- 6Arrange the strawberry filling in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Drizzle half of the balsamic glaze over the strawberries.
- 7Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go. Brush the crust with milk or beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- 8Bake for 30-35 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Let cool for 15 minutes. Drizzle with remaining glaze. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
