Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Start by combining the *cottage cheese*, *eggs*, and *rice flour* along with the *baking powder* in a large mixing bowl. Do not add salt or sweetener at this stage, as we will adjust to taste later. Mix until you achieve a smooth dough that can be easily divided.

Now, divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round disc, making sure they are uniform in size for even cooking.

Step 2

Make the Filling

In a separate bowl, prepare the creamy filling by mixing together the *cottage cheese* or *ricotta*, *Greek yogurt*, and adjusting with sweetener or salt according to your taste preferences. This filling adds a delicious creamy texture to your galettes, balancing the dough beautifully.

Step 3

Assemble the Galettes

Take each round of dough and place a generous amount of filling in the center, leaving some space around the edges for folding. Slowly bring the edges of the dough up towards the center to create a pocket around the filling, ensuring it is sealed well.

Place the assembled galettes on a tray and transfer them to the freezer for a little while to firm up. Once they're slightly frozen, you can vacuum seal them for longer storage!

Step 4

Bake the Galettes

When you're ready to enjoy your galettes, preheat your oven to *180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)*. Before baking, brush the edges of the galettes with *egg yolk* for that golden brown finish. This adds a lovely color and shine to your pastries.

Bake the galettes in the oven for about *40-50 minutes*, ensuring they are cooked through without thawing from the freezer. Keep an eye on them until they are beautifully golden and firm to the touch.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, let your galettes cool slightly before serving. For an extra sweet touch, I love drizzling mine with *condensed milk* (I use unsweetened) or honey to enhance their flavor. *Enjoy your delicious, quick-to-make galettes* warm or at room temperature, perfect for any occasion!

Servings

Imagine a lovely afternoon picnic where these **galettes** take center stage. Serve them warm, fresh from the oven, and watch your guests’ faces light up with delight. Pair them with a cup of tea ☕️ or coffee, and you have a simple yet elegant setup!

If you want to impress even more, drizzle some honey or sugar-free condensed milk on top of the sweet galettes after baking. They add an irresistible flair that will have everyone reaching for seconds! 🌟

For a savory twist, offer a platter of galettes filled with sautéed onions and mushrooms, served alongside a zingy pesto dip. It's a delightful combination that will spark conversation and make your gathering all the more memorable. 🍽️

Variations

Looking for gluten-free or vegan alternatives? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! ✨

For a **gluten-free** option, simply substitute rice flour with a blend of gluten-free flour. You may need to adjust the liquid slightly to achieve the right dough consistency!

If you are aiming for a **vegan** version, swap the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water or a commercial egg replacer. Use almond yogurt or another dairy-free alternative in the filling to keep it creamy yet plant-based. 🌱

Faq

  • What can I use instead of cottage cheese?

    You can use ricotta or Greek yogurt for a similar texture and taste.

  • Can I freeze the galettes?

    Yes! They freeze well; just make sure to wrap them tightly before placing them in the freezer.

  • How can I make the galettes more flavorful?

    Add aromatic herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dough for an extra boost of flavor.

  • What should I do if my dough is too sticky?

    Sprinkle a bit more rice flour into the dough while kneading until it is manageable.

  • Can I bake the galettes from frozen?

    Yes, bake them straight from the freezer but keep them in the oven a bit longer, about 10-15 minutes, to ensure they cook through.

  • How do I achieve a golden crust?

    Brush the edges with an egg wash before baking, or use a bit of dairy-free milk for a vegan option.
