Blood Orange & Goat Cheese Galette image

I made this French galette for my mother-in-law's birthday, and it was a sensational hit. There is something about the gorgeous hue of the blood oranges that transforms a rustic pie into an elegant dessert. -Tia Laws, Enterprise, Oregon

Freeze, covered, overnight., Preheat oven to 375°. Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 60-70 minutes.
