Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure and stability for the crust; substitute with a gluten-free flour blend if needed.
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and flakiness to the crust; can be replaced with margarine for a dairy-free option.
- 6 tablespoon Ice-Cold Water Helps bind the dough and ensures a tender crust; don’t skip this for optimal texture.
For the Filling
- 3 large Yellow Onions The star of the filling, offering sweetness when caramelized; use red onions for a different flavor profile.
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil Used for sautéing onions, contributing flavor; substitute with butter for a richer taste.
- 8 oz Cream Cheese or Goat Cheese Provides creaminess and tangy flavor; feta or Gruyère can be used as alternatives.
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Adds aromatic herb notes; use dried herbs if fresh is not available.
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and unsalted butter, blending until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water, mixing until the dough holds together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add sliced yellow onions. Sauté for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and fresh thyme.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread cream cheese or goat cheese in the center of the dough, leaving a one-inch border. Distribute caramelized onions over the cheese.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating pleats. Brush exposed crust with an egg wash if desired. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Store leftover galette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap then foil for up to 2 months. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
