Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Roll out your pie crust on parchment paper and place it on a baking sheet or spread a thin layer of avocado oil in your cast iron pan.
Spread a thin layer of sauce over the center, leaving about a 2-inch border.
Add your protein, then sprinkle on the cheese, and more sauce. If you have a wetter filling, add the cheese first, then the protein to create a moisture barrier.
Fold the edges of the crust over the filling.
Brush the crust with olive oil or egg wash.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Optional: drizzle a little more sauce over the top or serve it on the side.
If your filling is wetter, layer the cheese first to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
You can customize the garnish with jalapeños, onions, or cilantro for added flavor.
This recipe works well with any leftover protein, so feel free to experiment with what you have in your fridge.
Can I use homemade pie crust instead of premade?
Yes, you can use homemade pie crust if you prefer. Just ensure it is rolled out evenly before assembling the galette.
What type of protein works best for this recipe?
Any cooked protein like chicken, steak, or pork works well. You can also use vegetarian options like beans or tofu.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free pie crust to make this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet.
How do I prevent the crust from getting soggy?
Layer the cheese first if your filling is wetter, as it acts as a moisture barrier.
Can I freeze the galette for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the baked galette. Reheat it in the oven to maintain its crispness.
