Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium leeks, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 white wine
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced and divided
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- Pre-made pie crust
- 6 ounces fresh goat cheese
- 2 large pears, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
Directions
- In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally until they are softened, 6-8 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper and then add the white wine, Dijon mustard, heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of rosemary and cream cheese. Cook until the mixture is thick and the liquid has reduced by half, about 5-8 minutes. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 375 F and place a piece of parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
- To assemble the galette, roll out the dough onto a floured surface until it’s around ¼-inch thick. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and transfer to a large sheet pan.
- Spread the cooled leek mixture over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Crumble the goat cheese on top and layer the pears evenly on top so the leek mixture is completely covered.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans and remaining rosemary over the pears.
- Take the outer border of the dough and fold it up over the filling (you should have approximately 2 inches of crust overlapping the top of the galette.
- Bruch the outer crust with an egg wash.
- Bake until the crust is golden brown, between 30-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
