Fresh Fig & Honey Galettes
These fresh fig and honey galettes are layered with creamy goat cheese and wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust. It’s the perfect dessert to kick-start pie season. Plus, with these individual galettes, you can have a whole pie to yourself. Now, that’s what we’re talking about.
Ingredients
Dough
- cup all-purpose flour
- tablespoon granulated sugar
- teaspoon salt
- cup Vital Farms Unsalted Butter (cold and cubed)
- tablespoons ice water
Filling
- oz goat cheese (room temperature)
- tablespoons honey (plus more for serving)
- large figs (or 12 small figs, trimmed and sliced into rounds)
- Vital Farms Egg
- teaspoons coarse raw sugar
- fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
Work the cold, cubed butter into the mix by hand until crumbly. Mix in ice water until a dough is formed, be careful not to over-mix. Flatten into a disc. Divide the dough into 4 portions. Wrap each in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour.
Roll the dough into 1/4-inch disks and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top with crumbled goat cheese. Fan 5 fig slices on top. Fold the dough edges over the figs to form a crust, pleating and pressing the dough to adhere.
Return the galettes to the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F
Brush chilled galettes with beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Drizzle with honey and garnish with thyme.
