Description
A rustic Mushroom Galette featuring a flaky, buttery crust filled with sautéed mushrooms, red bell peppers, herbs, and creamy cottage cheese for a rich and satisfying vegetarian dish.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (280 g)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, cold and diced
3 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
1 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
6 cups button mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup water
Fresh parsley, a handful, finely chopped
1/2 cup cottage cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in the cold, diced butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add cold water gradually until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and red bell pepper until softened.
- Add mushrooms, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates.
- Pour in 1/2 cup water and simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread the mushroom mixture over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Dollop cottage cheese evenly over the filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to form a rustic galette.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.
- Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Mix mushroom varieties like cremini or shiitake for added depth.
Substitute ricotta for cottage cheese for a creamier filling.
Add grated Parmesan or a drizzle of truffle oil before baking for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to keep the crust crisp.
Freeze after baking and reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.
