    cherry goat cheese rustic tarts

    If I made these just like my dark chocolate cherry galettes, can I still call them rustic tarts?

    They are basically the same thing, a free form dessert filled with goodness.

    I have made a second batch of this goat cheese (recipe coming soon, I promise promise!), and I have been enjoying it with all kinds of things. The best pairing? A tangy goat cheese with a sweet cherry, enveloped into a flaky warm sugared crust.

    Look at that sugar.

    I spared a precious few cherries from my dwindling stash. Yes, I only have two containers in the freezer, and, well, a pretty large container of dehydrated. The summer of cherries is almost over. Only a few recipes left.

    It is not an accident that I chose to make my own goat cheese during August - which is National Goat Cheese Month. We are going to be celebrating every day until September. and then some.

    cherry goat cheese rustic tarts

    adapted from dark chocolate cherry galettes

    dairy, egg and gluten free, vegan

    makes four individual galettes

    40-50 fresh cherries, pitted
    ⅓ cup sugar, divided
    juice of 1 lemon
    ⅓ cup goat cheese, crumbled
    1 pie crust recipe (see below)
    ¼ cup olive oil 

    Combine cherries with 2 tablespoons sugar and juice, stir until sugar is dissolved. Divide cherries and goat cheese among 4 pies, arrange in the center of each pie (see directions below), leaving an inch border. Fold the border of crust up around filling, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 350 for 27-32 minutes (check at 27).

    easy gluten free and vegan pie crust

    makes 4 individual galettes (or one single crust pie)

    1 cup sweet rice flour
    1 cup all purpose flour (gluten free)
    ½ cup cold butter (Earth Balance – not soy free)
    ¼ – ½ cup cold water*

    Combine flours and butter with dough cutter or fork. Add water gradually* – start with ¼ cup and add by tablespoon after that until dough is forms. Knead and form a ball, wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Divide into four equal pieces and roll into small circles. Arrange on baking sheet lined in parchment or silpat.

    I wish I could share these with each and every one of you.
