Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water (approximately)
- 1 pound thin asparagus spears, trimmed
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chervil, chopped
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
- Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch round. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Crumble the goat cheese over the asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme and chervil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating it as you go, to create a rustic border.
- Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Let the galette cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can brush the crust with a little melted butter before applying the egg wash.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs like dill or parsley.
- If your asparagus is thicker, you might want to blanch it for a minute or two before adding it to the galette.
- The galette can be made ahead and reheated gently in the oven.
