Description
A delicious and savory galette featuring bacon, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and mozzarella cheese, all wrapped in a flaky crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 6–8 tablespoons ice water
- 4 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Layer the crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and mozzarella cheese on top of the spread. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic edge. Brush the exposed dough with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or zucchini for extra flavor.
- Experiment with different cheeses, such as feta or goat cheese, for a unique twist on the classic flavors.
