A savory galette recipe is the perfect addition to a spring brunch

I am not a big pie gal. I just don’t love fruit in my dessert, BUT I do love a flakey, buttery pie crust. Fill that pie crust with cheese and veggies and I am a happy gal.

This savory vegetarian galette is filled with sharp cheddar cheese and fresh asparagus. The rich cheese is balanced with the fresh lemon zest. I make this recipe even easier by buying a store bought crust.

You can choose to make a homemade crust instead. Any homemade pie dough will work well for this vegetable galette.

What kitchen tools will I need to make this asparagus galette?

  • Rolling pin (or wine bottle!)
  • Parchment paper and baking sheet
  • Food brush
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons and measuring cups

Ingredients for this savory galette recipe

  • 9″ pie crust at room temperature
  • Shredded sharp cheddar cheese – gruyere or other cheeses also work
  • Asparagus
  • Olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • Lemon Zest
  • Flakey sea salt

Ingredient substitutions

I used a store bought pie crust for this recipe, but you could also use a homemade crust. You can even use a pastry dough like puff pastry to make a fluffier crust.
Customize this vegetable galette by using any veggies you like!

Asparagus is my favorite option, but shaved broccoli would also be fantastic. Use. mixed sautéed mushrooms to make a mushroom galette. At the height of the summer you can also use thinly sliced heirloom tomatoes.

I like to use grated sharp cheddar cheese as the base of this galette, but you could also use brie cheese or whipped goat cheese.

Instead of brushing the crust with olive oil, you could also brush the edges with a simple egg wash. Make the egg wash by whisking an egg with a splash of water.

Simplify life with store-bought pie crust

Like I said, I keep this savory galette recipe SUPER simple by using a store bought crust. I like to buy 9″ pie crusts in the freezer section.

They come in packs of 2 so you can use one for this cheddar galette recipe and save one for later. If you want to make this recipe gluten free, just buy a gluten free crust!

How to make an Asparagus and Cheddar Galette

Step 1: Prepare pie crust

If your pie crust is frozen, allow it to thaw completely. Then, preheat oven to 400F.

Next, sprinkle a light layer of flour onto a piece of parchment paper. Place 9″ crust on top and roll out with a rolling pin on the lightly floured surface until the crust is 12″ in diameter.

Step 2: Add fillings to center of savory galette

Then, place shredded cheddar cheese into the middle of the crust leaving about 4″ of crust on all sides. Trim and slice asparagus stalks into 3 pieces.

Arrange asparagus pieces in an even layer on top of the cheddar cheese. Brush asparagus with olive oil using a food brush.

Step 3: Fold galette crust and bake

Next, season with fresh cracked black pepper. Fold the crust by folding small sections of the outside over the filling. Repeat this process making overlapping folds until all of the crust is folded. 

Finally, brush the outside of the crust with a little olive oil and season with a small amount of flakey sea salt. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake the galette at 400F for 30 minutes.

My favorite salt for this recipe

Redmond Real Salt provides that perfect, flakey sea salt to take your dish to the next level of delicious.

Step 4: Cool, slice and enjoy!

Remove from the oven and top with lemon zest.  Allow the galette to cool slightly and then slice into 6 even slices and enjoy!

Storage and reheating

This galette is best if enjoyed immediately, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven until warmed through.

    This galette was the first thing I made in my oven after 2 weeks of microwave cooking due to a gas leak in my apartment. I served it with steak & salad. It was simple to make, and it turned out beautifully. I will definitely be making it again, and I agree with another commenter; the vegetable and/or cheese may be easily swapped for variety. Thank you for the idea for an excellent addition to a special meal!
