Description
Indulge in the rich, earthy flavors of this Mushroom & Leek Galette with Puff Pastry – a delectable savory tart that’s perfect for entertaining or cozy nights in. Flaky puff pastry complements the sautéed mushrooms and leeks for a truly mouthwatering experience.
Ingredients
– 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
– 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
– 2 leeks, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and leeks, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom and leek mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
6. Transfer the puff pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the mushroom and leek filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
7. Fold the dough over the filling, pleating it as you go to create a rustic galette shape.
8. Bake the galette for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves before serving.
Notes
For a variation, you can add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the filling before folding the pastry over. This galette can also be served at room temperature, making it a great option for entertaining.
