This rustic galette brings together everything we love about farmhouse-style cooking: simple ingredients, sturdy technique, and eggs that truly shine. A Pete & Gerry’s Organic Pasture Raised Egg enriches the crust for a tender, flaky base, while six more bake right into the spinach and herb filling for those striking, sunny centers. It’s a dish that looks impressive without any need for perfection; the folds, cracks, and uneven edges only make it more beautiful. Serve it warm for a cozy brunch, a centerpiece-style lunch, or a shareable dinner that celebrates high-quality eggs in every layer.
Instructions
- Add all the crust ingredients into a food processor and pulse until a rough dough forms. This should take no more than 20-30 seconds.
- Remove the dough to a floured surface and use your hands to press and shape it into a thick, flat rectangle.
- Wrap it firmly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour or up to 2 days.
- When it’s time to bake the galette, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°.
- Prepare the filling by stirring the thawed, drained spinach and garlic & herb cheese until well combined.
- Remove the dough from the fridge, unwrap it, and place it on a floured surface.
- Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out into a large rectangle. It should be roughly the size of your baking sheet or slightly larger. Cracks around the edges are totally normal.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the parchment lined baking sheet by folding it or rolling it over the rolling pin.
- Use a spoon to spread the spinach filling evenly over the dough leaving a 2-3 inch border of dough without filling all the way around.
- Use your hands to gently fold the empty dough in and over the filling toward the center creating an overlapping crust border around the entire galette and a large window in the middle where the filling is exposed. A rustic look is good here! Don’t worry about overlapping the dough or cracks here and there.
- Use a spoon to make 6 small holes or wells in the filling. (This is where the eggs will go later.)
- Beat one egg in a small bowl and brush it generously onto the exposed crust around the outside. This step is optional, but it will give the crust a beautiful deep golden-brown color.
- Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the galette from the oven and crack one egg directly into each well in the filling.
- Return the galette to the oven and back for another 12-18 minutes or until the egg yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove the galette from the oven, sprinkle egg with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
