Ingredient Notes

The four main ingredients are 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 pound of grated cheese (such as Gruyère or cheddar), and 1/2 cup of sour cream. For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with almond flour. I recommend using high-quality cheese for the best flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Stir in the grated cheese and sour cream, mixing until a dough forms.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into small rounds.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each galette for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Things I’ve Learned

If the dough feels too crumbly, add a bit more sour cream to help it bind. For storage, keep the galettes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in a skillet or oven for a crispy texture. These galettes can also be made ahead of time and frozen, then cooked directly from the freezer.

FAQs

Q: Can I substitute any of the ingredients?

A: Yes, most ingredients can be substituted with similar alternatives while maintaining the overall flavor profile.

Q: How should I store leftovers?

A: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best quality and freshness.
