Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet ready-made pie crust or puff pastry
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon truffle oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 teaspoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. If using pie crust, roll it out to about a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. If using puff pastry, unfold it onto the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until it wilts completely. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  6. In a bowl, combine the cooled mushroom and spinach mixture, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1 large egg, thyme leaves, and truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  7. Spoon the filling onto the center of the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border all around.
  8. Fold the edges of the pastry up and over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic border.
  9. Brush the folded crust edges with the egg wash mixture.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  11. Let the galette cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute store-bought puff pastry to save time.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, use a mix of wild mushrooms.
  • If you do not have truffle oil, a squeeze of lemon juice after baking brightens the flavors.
