Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Vital Farms Unsalted Butter cold and cubed
- 2-3 tablespoons ice water
Filling
- 5 oz goat cheese room temperature
- 2 tablespoons honey plus more for serving
- 6 large figs or 12 small figs, trimmed and sliced into rounds
- 1 Vital Farms Egg
- 2 teaspoons coarse raw sugar
- fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
- Work the cold, cubed butter into the mix by hand until crumbly. Mix in ice water until a dough is formed, be careful not to over-mix. Flatten into a disc. Divide the dough into 4 portions. Wrap each in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Roll the dough into 1/4-inch disks and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top with crumbled goat cheese. Fan 5 fig slices on top. Fold the dough edges over the figs to form a crust, pleating and pressing the dough to adhere.
- Return the galettes to the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Brush chilled galettes with beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Drizzle with honey and garnish with thyme.
