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.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
