Ingredients & Why They Work

This recipe is all about balance and quality ingredients that complement one another beautifully. The buttery pie crust gives you that irresistible flakiness, while the blackberries provide fresh, juicy bursts of flavor. The whipped feta mixture brings a tangy creaminess balanced perfectly by honey's sweetness and a hint of lemon to brighten the whole galette.

Pie dough: I recommend homemade if you can, chilled well before rolling for best flaky results; store-bought works in a pinch, just thaw in advance.
Blackberries: Use fresh for the best texture and juiciness, but frozen blackberries that are fully thawed can be a great convenient alternative.
Granulated sugar: Just enough to balance the tartness without overpowering the natural blackberry flavor.
All-purpose flour: Helps thicken the fruit filling so your galette isn’t watery.
Fresh lemon juice: Adds a bright note that lifts all the flavors.
Vanilla extract: Subtle warmth that rounds out the blackberry filling beautifully.
Feta cheese: Use a good-quality, full-flavored feta for that creamy, tangy punch.
Full-fat sour cream: Adds richness and smoothness to the whipped feta; Greek yogurt is a nice substitute if you prefer.
Honey: Both in the whipped feta and drizzled on top, honey adds a floral sweetness that’s just dreamy.
Olive oil: Gives the whipped feta a silky texture and slight fruity undertones.

Make It Your Way

I love how versatile this Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe is — it feels so customizable. You can tweak the fillings or toppings depending on what you have on hand or the season you’re in.

Variation: I’ve tried swapping blackberries with blueberries or mixed berries, and it still tastes fantastic—though blackberries do bring the best balance with feta’s tang.
Dietary tweak: For a lighter option, I sometimes use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the whipped feta, keeping it creamy but a bit tangier and lower in fat.
Extra texture: Adding some chopped toasted nuts (like pistachios or almonds) on top after baking gives a fun crunch contrast.
Make it vegan: Use a plant-based cream cheese and vegan honey alternatives to keep the flavors while accommodating diets.

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

A single slice of pie sits on a white plate with a shiny silver fork next to it. The pie has a golden-brown crust that is flaky and slightly thick at the edge. The filling is made of blackberries that are dark purple and glossy, sitting in a creamy, light yellow layer beneath them. The blackberries cover most of the slice, and there is a small drizzle of honey on top of the berries and pie. The background shows part of the whole pie blurred out and a small glass bowl with honey and a wooden honey dipper. The setting is on a white marbled surface with a bit of purple cloth near the bottom edge of the image. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 2:3 --v 7

Step 1: Prepare and Chill the Dough

First things first, make sure your pie dough is well chilled. I roll mine out on a piece of parchment to a 12-inch circle, which makes transferring it so much easier. Then, I pop it in the fridge while I prep the filling. Chilling keeps the crust flaky and helps prevent shrinking during baking.

Step 2: Mix the Blackberry Filling

In a bowl, gently toss fresh blackberries with sugar, flour, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla. You want the berries coated but try not to crush them too much. The flour helps soak up excess moisture for a perfect juicy but not runny filling. Then, let this chill while you make the whipped feta.

Step 3: Whip Up the Feta Mixture

In a food processor or blender, combine crumbled feta, sour cream, honey, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. This whipped feta layer adds a beautiful tangy creaminess that contrasts with the sweet berries. You can make it a little chunky if you like some texture.

Step 4: Assemble the Galette

Remove your dough from the fridge and spread the whipped feta over the center, leaving about a 2-inch border free. Then spoon the blackberry filling evenly on top. Fold the edges of the dough up over the filling, pleating as you go—don’t worry about perfection; the rustic look is part of the charm! If edges don’t stick, a tiny bit of water helps "glue" them together.

Step 5: Chill Then Bake

Pop the assembled galette back in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. This step helps the crust firm up so it bakes beautifully. Then bake at 425°F (218°C) for about 36-40 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles. Let it cool a bit before slicing—it’s worth the wait.

Top Tip

I’ve made this Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe more times than I can count, and these tips always make it turn out perfectly—no stress, no soggy crusts.

Keep everything cold: Chilling the dough and filling properly keeps the crust flakier and stopping the filling from seeping through.
Don’t overmix the berry filling: Gently toss to coat berries but avoid smashing them to keep that fresh blackberry texture.
Fold with confidence: The dough will “glue” itself when folded even if it feels sticky; a tiny dab of water helps if needed.
Use a baking sheet: Always bake the galette on a lined baking sheet to catch any drips and keep your oven clean.

How to Serve Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe

Garnishes

I love drizzling a little extra honey on top right before serving—it brings out the galette’s floral sweetness. Fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of powdered sugar give it an elegant touch when friends are over. Sometimes I add a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence, especially on warm days.

Side Dishes

This galette pairs beautifully with a light green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette for a lovely brunch spread. I also enjoy serving it with a cheese platter or a glass of crisp white wine to create a simple yet impressive appetizer or dessert setup.

Creative Ways to Present

For special occasions, I’ve lined a large wooden serving board with fresh berry sprigs and edible flowers, then placed the galette right in the center. Cutting into neat wedges and serving with ramekins of extra whipped feta and honey on the side impresses guests and lets everyone customize their bites.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

After cooling completely, I tightly wrap leftover galette slices in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge. It keeps well up to 4 days, still tasting fresh and delicious. Just bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor.

Freezing

If you want to prep ahead, this galette freezes beautifully—whether baked or unbaked. I wrap it tightly in plastic and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge; then bake or reheat as needed. It’s perfect for making in advance and saving for later.

Reheating

To reheat, I pop slices in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until warmed through and crisp on the edges again. Using the oven keeps the crust flaky—microwaving tends to ruin that fantastic texture.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use frozen blackberries for this Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe?

Yes! Frozen blackberries can be used, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture making the crust soggy. Toss them gently with sugar and flour as with fresh berries.

What can I substitute for feta in the whipped cheese mixture?

You can replace feta with goat cheese for a slightly milder tang, or use a cream cheese blend for an ultra creamy texture. Just adjust the amount of sour cream or Greek yogurt to maintain the right consistency.

How do I prevent the galette crust from getting soggy?

Chilling the dough well before baking is key, as is tossing the blackberries with flour to absorb moisture. Baking on a parchment-lined baking sheet helps with even cooking, and allowing the galette to cool slightly before slicing helps the filling set.

Can I make the galette ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can assemble and refrigerate the galette for up to 8 hours before baking. If making a day ahead, cover it tightly in the fridge. Alternatively, freeze the unbaked galette wrapped well and bake directly from thawed.

Final Thoughts

This Blackberry Feta Galette with Honey Recipe is one of those recipes I keep coming back to because it never disappoints—each bite bursts with fresh fruit, creamy tang, and that wonderful honeyed sweetness wrapped in buttery crust. It’s perfect for when you want dessert that’s a little different but surprisingly simple to pull together. Give it a try—you’ll be amazed how a few lovely ingredients can turn into something truly special.
