Ingredient Notes
• 1 cup of mixed mushrooms (like cremini and shiitake) – fresh is best but dried can be rehydrated.
• 2 tablespoons of butter – use a high-quality brand for richer flavor.
• 1 pound of leeks – ensure they’re well-cleaned to avoid grit.
• 1/2 cup of ready-made pastry dough – store-bought is convenient and time-saving.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Roll out the pastry dough on a baking sheet, leaving a border of about 2 inches around.
- Spoon the sautéed mixture onto the center of the pastry, folding the edges over slightly to create a rustic galette shape.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden and flaky, then slice and serve warm.
Things I’ve Learned
Watch the leeks closely while sautéing; they can burn quickly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. This galette can also be prepared ahead and frozen before baking – just thaw and bake when ready.
