Galette Disaster 101 - What Not to Do

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9" X 9" removable bottom cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Then, line the pan with the filo so the edges drape casually and haphazardly over the sides. Baste well with melted butter.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients sans blotting butter.Dump mixture into the filo "crust" and dot with blotting butter.
  4. Place pan on a baking sheet (to catch butter drips) and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until filo is golden brown. Remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes to cool. Remove the bottom and lift the sides off the pan.
  5. Oh wait, you can't. The drapped filo is all over the place and essentially attached to the pan itself.
  6. Break off excess filo from the sides and remove the sides of the pan. It comes off. But then filo hasn't browned or hardened at the bottom and it crumbles to the floor and all over the counter.
  7. Taste a peach. It's crunchy. Shouldn't be. But you didn't cut the fruit into thin enough slices and thus they didn't cook.
  8. The almonds are grainy. Didn't work so well, did it?
  9. Throw in the trash, wipe up the counter, broom the floor, and wash the butter off of everything with hot soapy water. Dry dishes. Put away. Open up a bottle of wine and pout on the couch.
  10. Take a nap.
