Apparently, I am all about galettes this week.
I mean, it was just last Friday that I posted this sweet Raspberry Rhubarb Galette, but hey, I don’t think you can ever have too many galettes. You know??
Besides, this one is a savory, cheesy galette, so clearly the two are very different. One for dinner, one for dessert.
My kind of food. Perfect!
So once again, on a totally random note, since I for the life of me cannot think of a way to tie this post into a discussion about snapchat?? How do we all feel about snapchat? See, I made an account, but umm, you guys, I cannot figure out how it works. I feel pretty un-smart saying that, but it’s the truth. I can’t figure out how you add friends and watch their snaps? I mean, whats the deal?
Also, I am not sure I can really do snapchat. I mean, those are like real, live videos, and the thought of being caught on camera scares the heck out of me. Like seriously. I am so camera-shy. This is mostly due to the fact that I simply just cannot take a good photo. It’s ok, I have accepted the fact that I’m just not photogenic, totally cool with that, I never really understood selfies anyway, so it’s all good.
OK. Fine, so that’s sort of a lie, I would love to take a photo and be like “oh, yeah, I look awesome!”. BUT honestly, does anyone really think they look good in pictures? Well wait, I know some people who do (hint, hint – all my brothers). All I have to say to those people is, I totally envy your confidence. Mine is obviously lacking…I am told it will come with age.
ANYWAY, do you guys think I need a snapchat button? Should I start making mini cooking videos? Can I figure it out you think?
HELP.
On the plus side, I did just speak at a conference in florida via Skype. It actually wasn’t as nerve-racking or intimidating as I thought it was going to be. Dare I even say it was kind of fun and I’d like to do more?
Yeah, I think I would. Cool!
Here’s the deal though. I need to give you all the little details about this spinach and artichoke galette.
It’s pretty straight forward.
Flakey, buttery cornmeal pepper crust.
Mozzarella cheese.
Spinach, artichokes, garlic, a little lemon, salt and pepper.
Basil….of course.
Blue cheese…the more cheese the better!
Pine nuts.
More basil + balsamic glaze if you are into it.
DONE.
This galette is pretty quick to prepare and is the perfect “prep in advance” meal for guests. It’s also equally perfect for “its Thursday night and I need some good food to get me through until 5pm tomorrow” food.
This galette will do that for you. It’s full of veggies, cheese and ahh, that crust, well not much beats that crust.
Look at all the cheesy, flakey goodness going on?!?!

YUM! Simple, easy, healthy, flakey deliciousness – what more could you as for!
I’ve made this twice and the dough seems fine and then turns our very crumbly when cooked. Any advice? Do I need more water? Less cooking time? It’s more crumbly than flaky!
Hi Jill!! sounds like you nee a touch more water to keep the dough moist. I think that should help. Also, try chilling the entire galette before baking, this really helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂
What cheese could be used instead of “blue cheese”.
Hi Linda, you can omit it completely or use a crumbled goat or feta cheese. either would be great! Let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this galette!
…and next time, just cut to the chase…this is a good recipe, but I didn’t have to hear about your obsession with gallettes or your feelings of personal failure about Snapchat.
No big deal.
Just stick to the recipes.
Thanks for your input but you don’t have to read the post, the recipes are posted at the bottom. I’m sorry that my post do not interest you.
Both “veggie” and “Yum! ” “fridge” and “mozza” in one recipe? I can eat more now since I already barfed. I’m surprised “hubby” didn’t love it.
Come on, people, let’s use adult English! It’s not that hard.
This turned out awesome! I loved the crust! Super flaky and buttery. I think next time I’ll leave the cornmeal out, as I didn’t like the grainy texture it added. Does the chilling of the galette prior to baking give it that flaky texture? I used frozen spinach, which made it come together like a breeze! Definitely be making that crust again and trying some other filling options!
So happy you loved this, thank you! Yes, chilling is key to the flaky crust. Please let me know if you have other questions and thanks again!
I have made this a couple times now and it is a great base recipe. Amazing flavour combo. But you absolutely do not need 1/4 cup oil for the filling – wow are you deep frying that garlic, maybe at most a tablespoon. I also used artichokes in water not oil, and way less mozza. I also used all whole wheat flour for the crust.
I think you list the same beaten egg twice. You only need one egg for the wash right? But it is listed in both sets of ingredients, just a bit confusing.
This looks delicious!
Thank you!
Its a great recipe. I will give a try today.thanks for sharing!!!
I have made this twice. The second time was to get the crust right, which I did. It was wonderful and will become a regular go-to recipe for me. It’s easy to put together and a great blend of flavors. Thanks for posting it!
This looks awesome- could rotisserie chicken be added?
Yup! 🙂
This looks delicious! Could I make the dough a day ahead of time?
Hi! That works great! Hope you love this!
I know you posted this several months ago, but I just made it for lunch today. So delicious! The crust is to die for. I’m pretty bad at pie crust and this was easy. Thanks for a yummy lunch.
You mention folding the dough over the tomatoes, but I don’t see anything else about tomatoes! Did I miss something?
No you didn’t miss anything, that is my mistake, SO SORRY! Fixing it now. Enjoy the galette!
On the snapchat thing: I think it would be awesome for you to make an account!! To add friends just swipe from right to left once, or until you get to the camera page. Then scroll from top to bottom, and you’ll see an add friends button. You can search for names and for their account name. Also, when you decide to upload something for your blog (not personal stuff), you might want to click the “My Story” button when you pick who you send it to instead of to your whole contact list. Secondary also, when people start to follow you you’ll have to approve them. Go back to the screen that allows you to add friends and you’ll see the alerts. Hope I helped!
I just finished eating this and it was AMAZING!! That crust…so good. It was also really easy to make and looked like I spent hours on it. Thanks for another great recipe!!
