What is a Vegetable Galette?

Galettes are types of French pastries. They come in different varieties including circular cakes, free-form pies, buckwheat crepes, and large, soft cookies. Most variations are sweet, but they can be savory, too!

Unlike other pastries, galettes are shaped and baked right on a baking sheet. The edges are folded over to create a crust and hold in the filling. As a result, the top of the galette is open so you’re able to get a peek at the filling.

Below is an overview of the ingredients and instructions for this recipe. Don’t forget to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details and instructions!

Puff Pastry – Find this in the frozen or refrigerated section of your local grocery store. If frozen, just make sure to thaw it first!
Cheese – Ricotta cheese forms the base of the layers. Then, we incorporated crumbled feta for a silky texture and a tangy taste.
Vegetables – Sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and grape tomatoes add lots of color, nutrients, and a bold, savory flavor.
Olives – We use a combination of green olives and kalamata olives to add a briny flavor.
Seasonings – Salt, pepper, and dried oregano enhance the savoriness of the ingredients.
Olive Oil – This helps caramelize the veggies and adds a peppery taste!
Egg – A whisked egg is brushed over the puff pastry, creating a crisp golden crust.

Roll, Top, and Bake! Your New Go-to Meal is Ready in Minutes

Preheat your oven before you begin, allowing it plenty of time to get nice and hot!

Prepare the puff pastry. Roll the pastry into an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Layer. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly on top. Layer on the veggies, olives, and feta cheese. Then, add the seasonings and a drizzle of olive oil.
Create a border. Fold in the edges of the pastry, creating a crust. Then, brush the egg wash over the pastry border.
Bake. Transfer the vegetable galette to the preheated oven. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Garnish. Allow the galette to cool for a few minutes. Then, add a garnish of baby arugula and more olives along with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

We think this galette makes for an memorable vegetarian meal when served solo! However, you can also pair it with sides and appetizers like tomato and burrata salad, marinated tomatoes and feta dip, simple olive tapenade, or crockpot spinach and artichoke dip.

Or, it can also serve as a beautiful side dish with main courses such as shrimp kofta meatballs, Greek lemon chicken, or beef kofta.

Common Questions About This Mediterranean Vegetable Galette Recipe?

Can I use store-bought pie crust?

Totally! We love pre-made puff pastry, but a pre-made pie crust works great when you’re short on time. Just let it soften slightly before unfolding and shaping.

How do I keep the crust from getting soggy?

Sprinkle a little grated cheese or breadcrumbs on the bottom before adding the veggies. It creates a barrier that helps keep the crust crisp.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep the crust and veggies in advance. Assemble and bake just before serving for the finest texture and flavor.

Is this galette good served cold?

It is! While it’s finest warm, it also makes a great picnic or lunchbox option straight from the fridge.
