Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine sifted flour, cottage cheese, and chilled butter cut into pieces.

Quickly mix by hand until the chunks of butter are dissolved. Add 1 egg and salt, then gently stir the mixture. Remember, do not knead the dough for too long, or it will become tough during baking.

Step 2

Chill the Dough

Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

If the dough does not come together well, you may add a little more flour.

Step 3

Roll Out the Dough

Once the dough has chilled, roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper into a circle about 30-35 centimeters (12-14 inches) in diameter.

Step 4

Assemble the Galette

Spread cottage cheese in the center of the dough, leaving about 4-6 centimeters (1.6-2.4 inches) of edges.

Lay the thinly sliced vegetables on top of the cottage cheese.

Fold the edges of the dough over to create a rustic border.

Step 5

Prepare Egg Wash

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and cream.

Use a brush to glaze the edges of the galette with the egg wash.

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the vegetables for extra flavor.

Step 6

Bake the Galette

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Bake the galette for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is golden brown.

Step 7

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your savory cottage cheese galette with vegetables!

Variations

Want to customize your galette? Here are some delicious alternatives that cater to different dietary needs:

Gluten-Free Option 🌾: Swap out the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend. Just be mindful of the texture and adjust if necessary! Remember, gluten-free flours can vary widely, so check your packaging for specific instructions.

Vegan Twist 🍃: Replace the cottage cheese with a tofu-cashew cream mix for a rich, creamy vegan alternative. Use flax eggs instead of regular eggs for the wash, and ensure your puff pastry or crust is dairy-free. This way, even your vegan friends can enjoy a slice!

Faq

  • What if my dough is too crumbly?

    If your dough isn’t coming together well, try adding a little more liquid, like a tablespoon of cold water or even a little bit of more cottage cheese, to help it bind.

  • How can I tell when the galette is done baking?

    The galette is ready when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling slightly. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes in the oven!

  • Can I use other veggies?

    Absolutely! Feel free to swap in your favorites, like bell peppers, zucchini, or even spinach. Just remember to slice them thin for even cooking!

  • Can I make the dough in advance?

    Yes, you can! Prepare the dough and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. It can be stored in the fridge for up to two days or frozen for longer.

  • What's the best way to reheat leftovers?

    The oven is your best friend! Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes. This keeps the crust crispy!

  • How can I add more flavor to my filling?

    Consider adding herbs and spices! Thyme, rosemary, or even a touch of garlic can take your galette to a whole new level of deliciousness.
