Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like Gruyère or cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, and thyme)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the Greek yogurt, then gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into four equal wedges or circles.
  5. In a bowl, combine the shredded cheese, ricotta, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spoon the cheese mixture onto the center of each dough piece, leaving a border around the edge. Fold the edges over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic galette.
  7. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving; enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Tip: Feel free to add cooked vegetables like spinach or sautéed mushrooms into the cheese filling for extra flavor.

For added flavor, feel free to experiment with different herbs such as thyme, dill, or chives based on your preference. If you want a touch of spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.

These galettes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Serve with a side salad for a complete meal!
