You’ll Want to Make This Spring Seasonal Vegetable Galette Hack ASAP

Spring is on its way! The weather is warming up and daffodils are starting to pop up in the most unexpected places, making it the perfect time to hit up the local farmers’ market. There’s nothing better than coming home with a bounty of florals, fruits, and vegetables for the week.

But let’s be real: Who has the time to craft a farm-to-table meal when your busy schedule is also in full bloom? So when I was searching for something to make with this season’s freshest veggies, I went with this easy peasy galette hack. Pre-made pie dough FTW! Asparagus, leek, and Swiss chard are in season and pack a serious healthy punch. So get your oven pre-heated and read on!

Ingredients:

• 6 asparagus stalks, thinly diced
• ½ bunch of Swiss chard, diced
• 1 medium leek, thinly sliced
• 3 small red potatoes, thinly sliced on a mandolin
• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup Gorgonzola cheese
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 egg, beaten to blend
• dill and chives, for garnish

First up, you’re going to make your filling by sautéing your veggies until they’re soft, but still have a crisp. Cook your leeks, asparagus, and chard on medium heat for about seven minutes, and then set aside to cool. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

While the veggie filling is cooling, make the cheese mixture. Stir together the cream, Gorgonzola cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. You can always give this part a taste to see if you need to add any additional spices.

Now that you have all of your elements ready, it’s time to construct the galette. Unroll your pie crust onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread a layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom, add the vegetable filling, and top with a beautiful arrangement of potato. Be sure to leave a one-inch border, so you can fold the dough over. Create creases and folds to make sure your filling is snug in there.

Lastly, brush the egg wash on the pastry dough. You’ll want to make sure you’re generous with the egg, so your crust can have a nice color and shine. Throw it in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the potatoes and crust are a nice toasted brown.

Garnish with fresh dill and chive and try not to burn your mouth digging in!

Take a look at that golden brown crust. It’s sooooo good.

This galette is colorful, tasty, and incredibly easy to make. It’s also a GREAT way to make use of vegetables that are on their way out.

Cut off a slice and get ready to dig in!

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to eat. CHEERS!
