Ingredients

  • 1 recipe pate brisee (I used the Bouchon Bakery cookbook recipe)
  • 8 ounces mascarpone
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 large carrots, shaved with a vegetable peeler or mandolin
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sprinkle of salt and pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Chopped fresh oregano for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place pate brisee dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll into a circle about 16-inches in diameter and ¼-inch thick. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone, 1 tablespoon chives, ¼ teaspoon salt and dash of pepper. Remove the top piece of parchment paper from the pate brisee and generously spread on the mascarpone, leaving about a 1 ½- to 2-inch border to fold the dough up and over the toppings.
  • Next, sprinkle on the fontina cheese, then top with the garlic, shallots and finally, the carrots. Drizzle olive oil over top of the carrots and season lightly with salt and pepper. 
  • Working your way around the perimeter of the galette, fold up the edges of the dough, allowing them to naturally pleat as you go around in a circle. If any pieces crack, simply pinch them back together.
  • Keeping the galette on the bottom layer of parchment paper you originally rolled it out on, transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the beaten egg over the exposed edges of the galette.
  • Place the galette in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust has turned a lovely golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with additional chives and fresh oregano before serving.
