Ready in just over an hour, this easy-to-make yet gourmet dish is sure to impress at your next gathering.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of 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.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mixed mushrooms and cook until softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let the mushroom mixture cool.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the cooled mushroom mixture evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the mushrooms.
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating it as you go to create a rustic edge.
Brush the folded edges of the dough with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, glossy finish.
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
