Galettes are free-form pastries that bake the pie fillings you love into handheld delights. Another bonus: they take less time to bake and are still guaranteed to impress! In this recipe, the velvety Honey Goat Cheese Filling rests beneath fanned slices of spiced pear, all perfectly wrapped in a flaky galette crust and topped with toasted almonds for a little crunch. This sophisticated dessert hits every craving.

He’s full of curiosity and excitement, pulling a bit on the leash at times, but always eager to explore his surroundings and meet new people and dogs.
