Pie dough: I love making my own, but store-bought works fine too – just make sure it’s well chilled so it’s easy to work with and bakes up flaky.
Fresh blackberries: When they're ripe and juicy, they create a luscious filling; frozen can be used but thaw and drain juices to avoid sogginess.
Granulated sugar: Balances the tartness of the blackberries without overpowering.
All-purpose flour: Helps thicken the filling so it’s not runny after baking.
Fresh lemon juice: Adds a bright zing that wakes up the berries and the whipped feta.
Vanilla extract: A little warmth and sweetness that rounds out the filling beautifully.
Feta cheese: Crumbly, salty, and creamy, it’s the heart of the whipped feta mixture, offering a delightful contrast to the berries.
Full fat sour cream: This makes the feta smooth and creamy, perfect for spreading on the crust.
Honey: Both whipped into the feta and drizzled on top, it adds natural sweetness and a shimmering finish.
Olive oil: A splash in the whipped feta enhances richness and silkiness.

Make It Your Way

One of the reasons I adore this Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe is how easy it is to tweak to your liking. Sometimes I swap sour cream for full-fat Greek yogurt — it gives a tangier note I enjoy. Or I mix in a handful of chopped fresh herbs like thyme for a savory twist.

Variation: Last summer, I tried adding a sprinkle of crushed pistachios on top before baking — it added a lovely crunch and nutty flavor that paired beautifully with the berries and feta.

Step-by-Step: How I Make Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe

A single slice of fruit tart sits on a white plate, showing three main layers: a light golden-brown crust around the edge, a creamy pale filling underneath, and a topping of large, glossy blackberries that are deep purple with some red highlights, dripping slightly with juice. The slice has a silver fork placed to the right on the plate. In the background, more of the tart is visible, along with a small glass bowl of light honey and a wooden honey dipper resting across it. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface with a purple cloth partially visible in the front corner. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 2:3 --v 7

Step 1: Chill and Roll Out Your Pie Dough

Start with your pie crust well chilled — this helps the dough roll out easily without sticking. I lightly flour my rolling surface or use parchment to prevent sticking. Roll it into roughly a 12-inch circle, transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat, then pop it back into the fridge while you prep your filling. Keeping it cold helps maintain that flaky, tender crust.

Step 2: Mix the Blackberry Filling Gently

In a bowl, combine fresh blackberries with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss everything gently — you want the berries to mostly stay intact so the filling has texture, but a few juicy spots breaking down are great for flavor. Chill this mixture until you’re ready to assemble.

Step 3: Whip Up the Feta Spread

In a food processor or blender, combine feta cheese, sour cream, honey, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy — I like to stop before it’s completely pulverized to keep some texture, but that’s totally up to you. This whipped feta will be the flavorful base for your berries.

Step 4: Assemble Your Galette

Spread your whipped feta generously over the chilled pie dough, leaving about a 2-inch border. Then, scatter the blackberry filling evenly on top. Carefully fold the outer edge of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed. The dough will stick to itself almost like glue, but if it’s stubborn, a quick dab of water helps seal the edges. Chill the assembled galette for at least 20 minutes before baking to keep the crust firm.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Bake the galette on the middle rack for about 36-40 minutes. You’re looking for a golden crust and bubbly filling. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing — this helps the filling set and makes serving easier.

Top Tip

From my experience making this Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe, a few star tips make all the difference between good and unforgettable!

Keep Ingredients Cold: Chilling the dough before baking lends a flaky texture that you definitely don’t want to miss out on.
Gentle Berry Tossing: Handling the blackberries lightly helps maintain texture and prevents a mushy filling.
Seal the Crust Well: If your dough edges are dry and not sticking well, a tiny dab of water keeps the galette intact without sogginess.
Use High-Quality Honey: I notice such a difference when drizzling on top — a floral or wildflower honey really elevates the flavor.

How to Serve Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe

blackberry feta galette - Serving Suggestion

Garnishes

I love finishing this galette with an extra drizzle of honey right before serving for that golden glaze and added sweetness. Some fresh mint leaves scattered on top also bring a pop of color and refreshing brightness that contrasts the richness.

Side Dishes

This galette is wonderful alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream, which adds a dreamy creaminess. For a lighter touch, a handful of mixed greens dressed simply with lemon vinaigrette can make it into an elegant brunch centerpiece.

Creative Ways to Present

For celebrations, I’ve arranged mini versions of this Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe on a large platter surrounded by edible flowers and fresh berries. It’s stunning visually and invites guests to help themselves for a relaxed, festive vibe.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

I usually store leftover galette tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Be sure to let it cool completely before wrapping to avoid soggy crust.

Freezing

This galette freezes wonderfully both before and after baking. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. When ready, thaw overnight in the fridge and bake the unbaked galette as directed or reheat the baked one gently to preserve crust texture.

Reheating

I like reheating slices in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 8-10 minutes — this crisps the crust back up nicely without drying out the filling.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use frozen blackberries for this galette?

Yes! Frozen blackberries work well — just thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before using to prevent a soggy crust.

What’s the best way to store leftover galette?

Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Let the galette cool completely before wrapping to keep the crust crisp.

Can I make this galette ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can assemble the galette and chill it in the fridge for several hours or even overnight before baking. Just make sure to cover it tightly so the dough doesn’t dry out.

What substitutions can I make for the sour cream?

Full-fat Greek yogurt is a great alternative to sour cream and can add a bit more tang. Just swap it in equal parts for a similar creamy texture.
