Fiddlehead Galette
Ingredients⌗
Crust⌗
- 1 1/4 cup unbleached AP flour
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp chopped thyme
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
- 1 tsp chopped savory
- 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup ice cold water
- 2 tsp lemon juice
Filling⌗
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded or crumbled mozarella cheese
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 1/2 lb fresh fiddleheads, trimmed, cleaned of brown bits, rinsed well under cold water
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 egg
- Flaky sea salt
- Fresh cracked pepper
Instructions⌗
- Add the flour, salt, and herbs to a food processor. Chop the butter into rough cubes and add in. Pulse until mixture resenbles coarse sand.
- In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, and water. Add flour mixture and mix with a large spoon or hands until the dough forms a ball. Wrap the ball in plastic wrap and chill in freezer for 20 minutes.
- Fill a medium pot with water, bring to a boil. Add the rinsed and cleaned fiddleheads and boil hard for 10 minutes (this is necessary to make them safe to eat). Drain in colander.
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Remove the dough from freezer; place on a well-floured surface for rolling. Roll out to a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter.
- Move the dough onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Spread the pesto evenly across the dough with a spoon, leaving about an inch around the edge. Sprinkle the cheeses on the pesto, and the fiddleheads and sun-dried tomatoes on the cheeses. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Whisk the egg with 1 tsp water in a small bowl. Fold up the edges of the pastry around the filling. Brush the folded edges with the egg mixture and sprinkle with flaky salt.
- Add to the oven and bake at 400 for 30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer on the parchment paper to a wire rack and cool for another 10 or so minutes, until the cheese has set.
- Cut into slices and serve.
