Galette Fromagère

Galette Fromagère

For the Cheese Filling:
1 cup grated cheese (mix of Gruyère and Emmental or your choice of cheese)
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 large egg
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1 teaspoon fresh herbs (thyme, chives, or parsley), chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup sautéed spinach or mushrooms (optional for extra flavor)

For Topping:
Additional grated cheese (for garnish)
1 egg (beaten, for brushing the crust)

For the Galette:
1 deep-frozen Buckwheat Crepe (thawed)
Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheese, ricotta, egg, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard (if using). Mix well until smooth.
Stir in the chopped herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, fold in the sautéed spinach or mushrooms for added flavor.

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Assemble the Galette:
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, place the thawed deep-frozen galette crust.
Pour the cheese filling into the center of the galette crust, spreading it out evenly while leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.

Fold the Edges:
Gently fold the edges of the galette crust over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.
Brush the edges with the beaten egg for a golden finish. If desired, sprinkle additional grated cheese on top of the filling.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese filling is bubbly and cooked through.

Serve: Once baked, remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Cheese Options: Feel free to experiment with different cheese combinations based on your preference.
Add-ins: You can include other ingredients such as caramelized onions or cooked bacon for additional flavor.
Serving Suggestions: Pair this Galette Fromagère with a simple salad or a dipping sauce for a complete meal.

Enjoy your delicious Galette Fromagère, combining the convenience of a frozen crust with the rich flavors of a cheesy filling!
