ingredients

Galette
cooking spray
0.5 (15 ounce) refrigerated pie dough (such as Pillsbury)
¹⁄₂ cup shredded aged sharp cheddar cheese
5 bartlett pears or 5 Anjou pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch slices
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¹⁄₈ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¹⁄₄ cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Caramel
¹⁄₃ cup granulated sugar

directions

Preheat oven to 400°.
To prepare galette, line a jelly roll pan with foil, and coat foil with cooking spray. Roll dough into an 11-inch circle; place on baking sheet. Sprinkle crust with cheese, leaving a 1-inch border.
Combine pears, juice, and nutmeg in a large bowl; toss well. Add brown sugar and flour; toss gently. Arrange fruit on dough leaving a 2-inch border. (Pears will be piled high on dough.) Fold edges of dough toward center, pressing gently to seal (dough will only partially cover pears). Bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned (filling may leak slightly during cooking). Cool galette on a wire rack.
To prepare caramel, heat granulated sugar in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring as needed to dissolve sugar evenly (about 4 minutes). Cook 1 minute or until golden. Remove from heat. Drizzle over galette.

Lancaster, 78

I have been tattooing professionally for 10 years. I had my first baby in March 2005. He's the best thing that ever happened to me! Update: Since this post, I had twins in May 2007. Unfortunately one was born with a Congenital defect called Diaphragmatic Hernia. She has been in the hospital since she was born and as of today it has been almost 8 months. As soon as we come home, I plan to start getting back in the kitchen, but it has been the last thing on my mind as of late. 2nd Update: My daughter has been home for a year now and she's been doing really well. She's still has a long way to go, but she's strong as an ox!
