Rustic Asparagus and Mushroom Galette

This galette features a buttery crust filled with sautéed mushrooms and asparagus, seasoned with garlic and fresh herbs. It takes about 1 hour to prepare and bake, serving 6 people. Pair it with a light salad for a refreshing meal.

Ingredients

• For the crust:
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed (or 1/2 cup coconut oil for vegan option)
• 1/4 cup ice water
• For the filling:
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped
• 1/2 cup cheese (such as feta or goat cheese) or 1/2 cup plant-based cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add chilled butter (or coconut oil) and mix until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until browned. Add asparagus, garlic, and herbs, cooking until asparagus is tender. Stir in cheese or plant-based cream, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Galette: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the filling, pleating as necessary.
4. Bake: Brush the crust with beaten egg (if using) for a golden finish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with a light salad or as part of a brunch spread.
