Brunch Galette Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
• Cut a large circle in the puff pastry sheet.
• Sprinkle on cheese, and lay on the bacon.
• Fold the edges of the puff pastry over themselves to make a rim-it doesn't have to be perfect!
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven, and lay the tomatoes around the edge.
• Crack eggs into the middle.
• Bake for 15-20 additional minutes, depending on how runny you like your egg.
• Remove from oven, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chopped basil.
• Slice into pieces, however big you like!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the artichoke hearts in a single layer and cook, turning, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Scatter the leek, ham and broccoli on top and cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Unroll the pie dough on the prepared pan and gently flatten any curled edges. Spread the mustard on the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with half the gruyere, then the vegetable mixture, then the remaining gruyere. Fold in the edges of the dough, pleating as needed. Lightly brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese melts, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the radishes and combine in a large bowl with the mixed greens, vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss. Serve the galette with the salad.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Roll out the puff pastry to 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface. Transfer the pastry to a 9-inch cast-iron skillet and gently press it into the skillet, allowing the extra to hang over the edges. Brush the pastry with the apricot jam.
• Place the blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss to combine, then transfer the mixture to the prepared skillet.
• Bake until the pastry is golden and the fruit is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. If the edges begin to get too dark, lightly cover with foil.
• Top with the granola and spoonfuls of yogurt. Garnish with mint and the extra berries. Drizzle with the honey, slice and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat clarified butter in a 10 1/2-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until very hot, but not smoking. Place a sprig of thyme in center of skillet. Arrange potatoes in an overlapping spiral to fill pan (be careful, because the fat may spatter). Season with salt and pepper. Brush the bottom of a medium saute pan with clarified butter, and place over potatoes to weigh them down. Cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Carefully pour off excess butter, if there is any, and reserve. Turn galette out onto a baking sheet. Place another sprig of thyme in center of skillet. Using two spatulas, carefully return galette to skillet, browned side up. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with saute pan; transfer to oven, and bake until second side is brown and potatoes are cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove top saute pan 5 minutes before removing skillet from oven. Carefully slide galette onto cutting board. Cut into wedges, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk 3 eggs with 1 cup water until frothy and uniform. Sift in buckwheat flour, and whisk until as smooth as a new can of paint. Season with salt and whisk to combine. Cover batter and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours, or up to 24 hours).
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low. Ladle in 1/4 cup of batter, then quickly tilt the pan in a clockwise motion to swirl the batter all the way to the edges into a perfectly round, very thin pancake. The batter should disperse quickly; if it is too thick - and doesn't swiftly radiate to cover the width of the pan - you'll need to stir a few extra tablespoons of water into the batter and try again with a second crepe. Expect to lose the first two or three crepes as you get used to the swirling motion, the amount of batter to add and the hotness of the pan. When all three factors align, you can make six savory crepes in about as many minutes.
• When you feel you have the hang of it and are ready to go live, ladle in 1/4 cup batter, swirl and allow crepe to set for just 10 seconds. Crack an egg in the center, and use the back of a spoon or a small rubber spatula to spread the egg white, which will allow the egg to cook evenly in the amount of time it will take the cheese to melt and the galette to crisp. Sprinkle about 1/3 cup Gruyère across the surface, then tear 2 or 3 pieces of ham and set them flat on top, surrounding the egg yolk.
• Allow the crepe to crisp up and brown on the bottom while the egg cooks sunny side up, and the ham warms through, 3 to 4 minutes. In Brittany, these are cooked on a large, round cast-iron griddle, and the four sides of the galette are folded in to become a large square before being slid onto a plate. This is harder to do in a slope-sided pan, but try it if it suits you - you'll want to fold the sides about 1 minute before the egg is done cooking. Otherwise, an open round is just fine. Slide it onto a plate, and repeat with remaining galettes.
• Season with salt and pepper. Drink with hard cider, not too cold.
