Push the cherries into the top of the galette through the craquelin, distributing them evenly.

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

For an interesting variation: replace half the flour in the craquelin with ground hazelnuts. This gives a more definite hazelnut flavour and a subtler crust.

If you don't have hazelnut cream, just use almond cream or frangipane instead.
