Best 2 Wild Mushroom And Ricotta Galette Recipes

MUSHROOM GALETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. To a pan, add about a tablespoon of olive oil. Warm over medium heat and once hot, add in the onion slices. Cook until the onions begin to become golden along the edges and caramelize.
• Add the mushroom slices to the pan and cook for another few minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Turn off the heat and temporarily set the pan aside.
• Unroll the pie crust onto a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Brush the egg white over most of the pie crust, leaving about a 1 1/2 inch perimeter bare. Let the crust rest for a minute for the egg white to slightly dry.
• Spread the ricotta cheese all over the area covered with the egg white. Use a zester to finely grate a little bit of parmesan cheese as a slight garnish over all the ricotta cheese. Add a small pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper, as well as the pinch of nutmeg, over the cheese.
• Distribute the mushroom-onion mixture all over the ricotta cheese, then top that with the shredded gruyere. Add the thyme leaves all over the top.
• Fold the edges of the pie crust over the mushroom filling, all along the edges. Brush the egg yolk over the pastry, then top the pastry with some of the finely grated parmesan.
• Bake the galette for 20-30 minutes. If you're using store-bought crust, it will typically look golden and be ready in the 20-25 minute mark, whereas homemade pastry can take up to 30 minutes.
• Let the galette rest for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to your serving plate.

WILD MUSHROOM AND RICOTTA GALETTE

Steps:

• Pastry:.
• Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in food processor to combine. Add butter and process until largest pieces of butter are pea-size. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Combine vodka, vinegar and 2 Tbsp. ice water (or 1/4 cup ice water if not using vodka) in a small bowl and drizzle over flour mixture, mixing with a fork to combine. Mix until shaggy pieces form, then knead in bowl a couple of times with your hands to bring together (dough will look very clumpy, dry, with loose bits). Transfer large clumps of dough to work surface, drizzle 2 teaspoons ice water over remaining flour mixture in bowl and knead again to bring it together. Place on top of dough on work surface. Press into a single mass, incorporating dry bits, then pat down to make a 3/4"-thick square. Using a bench scraper or knife, divide dough into 4 pieces. Stack pieces on top of one another, placing any unincorporated dry bits in between layers, and press down to combine. Form dough into a 3/4"-thick square and repeat process 3 more times. Flatten into 3/4" rectangle and wrap tightly in plastic. Chill at least 2 hours.
• Place a rack in the lowest part of the oven; preheat to 375°. Let dough sit at room temperature 5 minutes to soften. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to ⅛" thick and about 18 x 13". It's ok if the edges are shaggy and it's not quite rectangular! Place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and chill while you prepare the toppings.
• Toppings and Assembly:.
• Toss mushrooms, oil, half of garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pinch of pepper in a large bowl until completely coated. Stir ricotta, parmesan, chopped thyme leaves, 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoons pepper and remaining garlic in a small bowl until combined.
• Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over top of cold pastry. Dollop ricotta evenly over top. Arrange scallions next and spread green ends out so they fan and overlap across the galette. Top with mushrooms, fresnos and thyme sprigs. Bake on lowest rack until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is brown in spots. 50-65 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes and remove thyme sprigs before serving.
• Do Ahead: Dough can be made 5 days ahead. Keep chilled, or freeze up to 1 month.
