Description

This Mushroom Galette is a rustic, savory tart featuring a buttery homemade crust filled with a medley of sautéed mushrooms, red bell peppers, and aromatic herbs, finished with a creamy touch of cottage cheese.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Pie Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (280 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

For the Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 6 cups button mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Fresh parsley, a handful, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the pie crust by combining flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water and mix until dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions and red bell pepper until softened.
  4. Add mushrooms, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until mushrooms release moisture and it evaporates. Add ½ cup water and cook until mixture is slightly thickened. Stir in fresh parsley and remove from heat.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Spread the mushroom mixture over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Dollop cottage cheese evenly over the filling.
  7. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a rustic galette.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the crust is golden and cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Button mushrooms provide a mild flavor; mix with cremini or shiitake for deeper taste.
  • Cottage cheese can be substituted with ricotta for creamier texture.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature as a main or side dish.
  • Fresh parsley adds a bright flavor, but can be replaced with chives or basil.
