Some serious cabin fever

Hello my lovelies,

It's been one boring weekend. So you all get to read me twice in one day. How lucky for you;)  I have the information about the banana cake from my previous post. I got it from a blog called the undercover cook. So if you're interested in making that cake you can google her. I never read the inserts in the sunday paper. I actually never read the paper at all lol.  It was on my table today and i saw a recipe that I grabbed for my mother. It's totally right up her alley.  It's for a summer fruit and sweet cream cheese galette. It seems very easy. Here it is.

1 package(8ounces) softened cream cheese
1/2 cup confectioners suger
3 tbs cornstarch, divided
1 whole egg, seperated
2 tbs sugar, plus a little extra for sprinkiling
1 tsp vanilla
1 refridgerated pie crust from a 14.1-ounce box
2 cupss fruit(pick one or mix thinly sliced plums, peaches or aprcots; or mixed berries

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix cream cheese, confectioners sugar. 2tbs cornstarch and the egg yolk in a bowl. In a seperate bowl mix fruit, 2tbs of sugar,remaining tbs of cornstarch and vanilla exthract. Unfurl pie dough on a lightly floured surface and roll to about 13 inches in diameter. Slide on to a cookie sheet or pizza pan and spread with the cream cheese mixture leaving a 2 inch border. Scatter the fruit over the cream cheese mixture and fold the pastry border over the fruit. Brush dough perimeter with egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown and bubbly. About 30 minutes. Loosen with a metal spatula and slide to a wire rack to cool..serve warm and enjoy!

I sooooo look forward to making this next weekend!  Will keep you all posted on the deliscious outcome. By for now honeybees and honey bears!
