Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 150 g Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 60 ml Ice water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 500 g Red onions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Honey
- 100 g Goat cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently, until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and start to caramelize (about 15 minutes).
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, honey, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is slightly syrupy. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough circle about 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the caramelized red onion mixture evenly onto the dough, leaving a 5 cm (2-inch) border around the edges.
Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the onions.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go to create a rustic crust.
Brush the edges of the galette with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish during baking.
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and flaky.
Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
