  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup white whole wheat flour (or regular whole wheat flour)
  • 4 ½ ounces unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2-3 tablespoons cold water

Filling Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage (finely chopped, plus 6-8 whole leaves for topping)
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1 large egg (plus another large egg beaten for egg wash)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup caramelized onions (from about 2-3 onions)
  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon for sprinkling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles pea-sized pieces. In a small bowl, whisk one egg with 2 tablespoons of cold water and pour it into the flour mixture. Stir with a fork until the dough begins to come together, adding up to 1-2 more tablespoons of cold water as needed. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Allow it to sizzle, foam, and then turn golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and stir in finely chopped sage. In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, browned butter with sage, one egg, and kosher salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Galette: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Spread the pumpkin filling in the center, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Evenly layer the caramelized onions on top of the pumpkin mixture, then crumble goat cheese over the onions. Drizzle honey on top and scatter whole sage leaves evenly over the filling.
  4. Fold and Bake: Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic edge. Brush the exposed dough crust with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish and sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt if desired. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the galette from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes on the baking sheet before slicing. This helps the filling to set and makes slicing easier. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and minimal handling to ensure a flaky crust.
  • Caramelize onions ahead of time for convenience.
  • The galette can be served as a main vegetarian dish or a side.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with vegan margarine, eggs with flax eggs, and use a vegan cheese alternative.
