Asparagus Goat Cheese Galette (Recipe Review)

Published on April 1, 2014 By Emily. Updated on April 1, 2014

One of the items I was most excited about on my most recent menu plan was the Asparagus Goat Cheese Galette from Simple Bites.  And so, Saturday night, I tried the recipe out.

Overall, I followed the recipe very closely and had good success with it.  This meal wasn’t my first experience with galettes (also, here), so that helped.  I love that the dough is partially made in the food processor and the 20 minutes the dough needed in the freezer was perfect for getting together the rest of the ingredients – trimming the asparagus, shredding the cheese, setting up the parchment on the baking sheet.

I found this recipe really straight forward and easy to follow.  I just made a few minor adjustments:  Even though I rolled the dough out into the 12” circle the recipe called for, when it came time to add the asparagus it seemed like I had way too much.  I was able to place about half a pound of the vegetable across the dough (leaving the 2 inch border) before it was full.  Unable to tell whether I should place an additional layer of the asparagus on the galette, even after looking at the recipe, I didn’t add any more.  And  I didn’t bother to cut the crust into a perfect circle; I like my galettes rustic.  I also opted to skip the egg wash and just brushed the folded over crust with olive oil.

Nevertheless, the asparagus galette was awesome.  As hoped, the crust was flaky, the asparagus soft and the cheese melty.  We got four servings out of the recipe, which made for excellent lunch leftovers.  I will definitely be adding this galette to my recurring recipe collection.

    I’m going to make this tonight or tomorrow. And when my husband looks at it suspiciously and asks what it is, I’m going to tell him that it is pizza.

We picked about 9 pounds of strawberries and I'm looking forward to eating them! 🍓

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.
UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuse This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuseum is a great visit for all ages. The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.
