Ingredients
Pastry Dough
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 150 g salted butter, cold, cut into large cubes
- 100 g ice cold water
Filling
- 3-4 beets, roasted, peeled, thinly sliced
- 1 cup goat cheese
- ¼ cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 egg
- fresh thyme
- hot honey
- flakey salt
Instructions
Make your dough
- In a large bowl, add flour and butter. Use your fingers to rub it into the flour. Continue until the butter is incorporated and about pea-sized (it's okay if there are some larger chunks). Add your water, starting with 75g. Use a fork to combine. Add the remaining water, if necessary, until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and mix just enough to form a ball. Do not knead or overwork (this isn't bread).
- Shape into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight.
Assemble your galette
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and preheat oven to 400 °F
- Transfer chilled dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll out so it's a little thinner than if you were making pie. Using a pie or pizza cutter, cut out 8 squares (4 x 4").
- Evenly divide the goat cheese among the 8 squares. Placing it in the centre and gently spreading it out a little, but be sure to leave room around the edges.
- Place 2-4 beet slices on top of the goat cheese. Again, leave a little room for a crust.
- Working with one galette at a time, fold the edges over the beets. Gently press down to seal where the dough overlaps. Brush an egg wash over the edges of each galettes.
- Evenly divide the crumbled blue cheese among the galettes. If you don't love blue cheese, you might not end up using all of it. Sprinkle with a little flakey salt and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh time and a drizzle of hot honey.
- Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy!
