Beat & Onion Galette

This savory puff pastry galette makes a fancy appetizer that is perfect for the holidays. This recipe is quick to assemble and uses seasonal and local winter roots!

 

This decadent recipie can feature any ingredients!

Whatever season you are in, this galette recipe is a perfect recipe to utilize whatever vegetables are in season. Since this is geared for the fall and winter, you could also try this with sweet potatoes, assorted rainbow potatoes, turnips, or mushrooms. In spring, you could make it with sauteed spinach, garlic scapes, and feta. In the heat of summer, you could make some with peppers and cherry tomatoes. 

 

If you don't have puff pastry, you can make it with pie dough.

You can easily substitute this puff pastry for pie dough. Try making it with our homemade sourcream pie crust

 

When in doubt, bake for 5-10 minutes longer.

Sometimes it can be hard to tell when the galette is ready to come of out the oven. If you are using watery ingredients, make sure you bake your galette longer than 40 minutes. Beets, carrots, and onions don't have as much water as other produce, so it seemed to work well with the timing. Every oven is different, so look for this golden crust and you'll be able to smell it when it is getting close to being done.
