Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 32 minutes
Servings: 4 galettes
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 5 shortcut bacon rashers, chopped
- 1 medium brown onion, finely diced
- 1 sheet butter puff pastry (22.5 cm / 9-inch square)
- 5 small eggs (4 for galettes, 1 for egg wash)
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- If frozen, defrost the puff pastry in the refrigerator or on the counter just until pliable. Keep it chilled until ready to use.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and chopped bacon. Cook, stirring regularly, for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden and caramelized. Set aside to cool.
- Cut the pastry into four equal squares, approximately 12.5 cm (5 inches). Place the squares directly on the lined baking tray.
- Divide the cooled bacon-onion mixture among the pastry squares, leaving a well in the center of each for the egg.
- Fold up the edges of the pastry slightly to form a border and press to secure. Brush edges with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
- Carefully crack one small egg into the center of each galette.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the egg whites are set.
- Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use all-butter puff pastry for best flavor and flakiness.
- Keep pastry cold throughout preparation to maintain structure and texture.
- Ensure bacon-onion mixture is cooled before adding to the pastry.
- Use small eggs to avoid overflow.
- Galettes can be made gluten-free using a gluten-free puff pastry.
