Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine your all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture and quickly combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Next, slowly add the ice water and mix until it forms a dough. Work quickly to avoid warming the butter. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap before placing it in the refrigerator for about 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

While the dough chills, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent. Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they’re browned and have released their moisture.

Once the mushrooms are ready, stir in the fresh thyme and spinach. Cook until the spinach has wilted, then remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

Assemble the Galette

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. You can either make one large galette or divide it into two smaller portions.

Place the shredded cheese in the center of the dough, followed by the sautéed filling mix. Be sure to leave some space at the edges for folding.

Step 4

Fold and Bake

Gently fold the edges of the galette over the filling, creating pleats as you go. Brush the edges with an egg yolk wash for added color and sheen.

Place the galette on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, let the galette cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious savory mushroom spinach galette!

Servings

For an unforgettable experience, consider serving your Spinach and Cheese Galette with a fresh salad drizzled with vinaigrette. Lettuce, arugula, and cherry tomatoes work beautifully to balance the savory galette. Pair with a crisp white wine or sparkling water and watch your guests smile with delight! ✨

Tip: You can also sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top for that extra crunch and flavor! And don't forget the dipping sauces; a tangy yogurt or chimichurri sauce can elevate this dish to a new level. Let's be honest—it’s all about those little extras that make the meal memorable! 🍷🥗

Equipment

Mixing Bowls

Make sure to have multiple sizes for mixing your dough and filling. A larger bowl makes it easy to combine ingredients without mess!

We recommend:

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: Swap out regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend to keep this dish friendly for those with gluten sensitivities! Just remember to add a bit of xanthan gum for the proper structure! 🌾

Vegan Option: For a delicious plant-based galette, use vegan butter instead of regular butter, and substitute the cheese with a cashew-based cheese or a vegan cream cheese. This way, you can enjoy all the flavors without missing out! 🌱🥑

Faq

  • Can I make the dough in advance?

    Absolutely! You can make the dough a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Just remember to keep it wrapped to prevent it from drying out.

  • What can I use instead of mushrooms?

    If you're not a fan of mushrooms, feel free to replace them with zucchini or bell peppers for a different flavor profile!

    Your galette should be golden brown and crispy when done! Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking for the perfect crust.
