Description
Savory Bacon and Egg Galettes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish featuring a flaky crust filled with bacon, eggs, and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
- 4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Arrange the chopped bacon over the cheese. Carefully crack the eggs on top of the bacon, ensuring they stay within the border.
- Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chives if using.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the eggs are set to your liking.
- Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with sautéed spinach or mushrooms.
- Experiment with different cheeses, such as feta or mozzarella, for varied flavors.
