Why We Love An Easy Savory Galette

This rustic yet elegant savory vegetable pie recipe is made even more delicious with spring vegetables and chèvre. Pie doesn’t just have to be just for dessert!

• Easy – Since a traditional galette requires so much less precision than making a pie, no pie-making skills are needed. Heck, we even use store-bought pie crust. Easy is the name of this game!
• Versatile – With lots of different vegetables tucked into a golden brown crust, change up the veggies to your liking and serve as a main dish or as hors d’oeuvre at your next cocktail party with a bottle of your favorite red wine.
• An excuse to eat pie for dinner! – Packed full of nutrients and the inclusion of creamy cheese will please even picky eaters. I mean, who’s going to say no to pie?
• Great way to use up extra veggies laying around!

Spring Vegetable Savory Galette Ingredients

Most of the ingredients come from the produce section of your local grocery store — or your own garden.

For specific amounts, please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Pre-made refrigerated pie crust – You can use store-bought (no judgment) or make your own pie crust.
• Butter
• Yellow onion – Dice the onion into small, uniform pieces.
• Mushrooms – Purchase these sliced or slice them into even pieces.
• Garlic cloves – Mince the garlic finely or use a microplane garlic mincer.
• Fresh asparagus – Break off the ends before slicing the asparagus.
• Goat cheese – Also known as chèvre, this type of cheese is creamy and lends a little tang to the galette.
• Cherry tomatoes – Tomatoes add both bright color and flavor.
• Fresh thyme – While we love to use fresh, you can replace it with dried thyme if needed.
• Egg – this will be brushed on the crust to give it a shiny golden brown color.
• Coarse salt & freshly ground black pepper  – Add as much or as little as you like.

Vegetable Galette Directions

Unlike a quiche or tart, a savory galette does not need a custard filling or a special pan. They are flat, freeform, and baked on a sheet pan instead of in a pie or tart pan. The pie crust is folded up around the filling, creating a rustic, uneven crust that holds the galette together.

When you are making this recipe, you’ll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.

1. Roll out the pie crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then loosely cover it with plastic wrap.
2. Sauté butter, onion, mushrooms, and garlic.
3. Stir in asparagus, cheese, tomatoes, and thyme.
4. Spread vegetables over the pie crust leaving about a 1 ½ – 2-inch border.
5. Fold the edges of the pie crust over the edges of the filling, leaving the center exposed and brush with beaten egg.
6. Season with salt and pepper and bake in preheated oven until golden and the filling is hot and bubbling.

Tips For A Perfect Savory Galette With Veggies

A galette is much simpler to make than a pie, yet there are a few steps you can take to ensure it comes out perfectly.

• As always, make sure you read through the full recipe before you start.
• If you have an extra egg white, brush the interior of the pie crust to keep it from getting soggy (see more in the FAQs)
• Don’t roll your pie crust too thin or leave it too thick, 1/8″ is ideal. Too thin and it will burn, too thick and it will be gummy.
• Bake your savory galette in the center of the oven to keep from over-browning the crust.
• Allow the vegetable galette to cool slightly before serving so that the filling can set.

Swaps and Substitutions

• Cheese – Instead of goat cheese try other cheeses that melt well like grated fontina, Gruyère, feta, or mozzarella. 
• Herbs – Add any other fresh herbs that you like — fresh basil and fresh dill are two good options. You can also sprinkle in your favorite dried herbs.
• Dough – You can use different varieties of pie dough or puff pastry depending on how flaky you want your crust, or you can make your own dough.
• Vegetables – Switch up the vegetables to incorporate what’s in season.
• Roast – Roasted veggies bring a whole other flavor to a savory galette. Sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, leeks, and tomatoes are all wonderful choices for roasting.
• Citrus – For bright flavor, try sprinkling some lemon zest into the vegetable filling.
• Onion – Instead of yellow onion, use a different variety. Red onion and green onions both add color to the filling.
• Garnish – Sprinkle thinly sliced green onions or parsley over the top of the filling when you remove it from the oven, or garnish slices with thyme sprigs.
• Cut into thin slices as an appetizer for a party.

What To Serve With A Savory Galette

• Salad – Serve a savory galette with a simple green salad, or fresh fruit salad. 
• Soup – A delicious accompaniment to this dish could be a creamy bowl Butternut Squash Soup or Broccoli Cheddar Soup. 
• Eggs – Serve a slice of veggie galette alongside an omelet, frittata, a breakfast casserole, or scrambled eggs.
