Ingredients

• 210 grams All-purpose flour
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 2 medium Leeks (white and light green parts, thinly sliced)
• 225 grams Cremini or button mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoons Thyme leaves (fresh)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 75 grams Gruyère cheese (grated)
• 1 large Egg (beaten for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and, using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic, mushrooms, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and the mixture becomes tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Spread the grated Gruyère cheese over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Top with the mushroom and leek mixture.

Step 8

Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, overlapping as needed to create a rustic edge. Brush the beaten egg over the exposed crust.

Step 9

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 cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Mushroom and Leek Galette!
