Cherry and Cottage Cheese Galette

Crumbly dough and delicate filling, what could be better? When I first saw the recipe for this galette, I immediately decided that I would definitely make it! And I was not mistaken, the galette turned out very, very tasty. The dough turns out to be very tender and crumbly, and the filling is simply weightless; cherries with their sourness also fit well here, but I think if there are no cherries, then currants, raspberries or strawberries will do. The galette turns out moderately sweet, so if you have a sweet tooth, add more sugar to the filling. Help yourself!
