Mini Mushroom Galettes Food

MINI BLUEBERRY GALETTES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, stir together blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, salt and lemon zest and juice.
• Cut the pie crusts into 6 circles with a 4 1/2-inch round cutter. Lift the circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Place about 1/4 cup of the blueberry mixture into the center of each circle. Gently fold over the edges to cover approximately 1 inch of the filling.
• Brush the egg wash around the edge of each pastry. Sprinkle the crusts with sugar and bake until the crusts are golden and the filling is bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

MUSHROOM GALETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. To a pan, add about a tablespoon of olive oil. Warm over medium heat and once hot, add in the onion slices. Cook until the onions begin to become golden along the edges and caramelize.
• Add the mushroom slices to the pan and cook for another few minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Turn off the heat and temporarily set the pan aside.
• Unroll the pie crust onto a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Brush the egg white over most of the pie crust, leaving about a 1 1/2 inch perimeter bare. Let the crust rest for a minute for the egg white to slightly dry.
• Spread the ricotta cheese all over the area covered with the egg white. Use a zester to finely grate a little bit of parmesan cheese as a slight garnish over all the ricotta cheese. Add a small pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper, as well as the pinch of nutmeg, over the cheese.
• Distribute the mushroom-onion mixture all over the ricotta cheese, then top that with the shredded gruyere. Add the thyme leaves all over the top.
• Fold the edges of the pie crust over the mushroom filling, all along the edges. Brush the egg yolk over the pastry, then top the pastry with some of the finely grated parmesan.
• Bake the galette for 20-30 minutes. If you're using store-bought crust, it will typically look golden and be ready in the 20-25 minute mark, whereas homemade pastry can take up to 30 minutes.
• Let the galette rest for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to your serving plate.

POTATO-MUSHROOM GALETTES

Steps:

• Warm the canola oil and butter in large saute pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook slowly, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their juices. Continue cooking until all their moisture evaporates.
• Add the shallots and cook for 3 minutes. Strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs and add to the pan; discard the stems. Season with the salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss until well coated.
• Place 2 medium nonstick saute pans over medium heat. Place 1 potato slice in the center of each pan. Use one-quarter of the potatoes per pan, carefully form circles of slightly overlapping potato slices around the center slices, letting them fall slightly over the edge of the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes. If any gaps form between the slices, patch with slices cut to fit the gap.
• Place 1/4 of the mushroom mixture in the center of each galette and evenly spread it out to cover the potatoes. As the potatoes become soft and flexible, begin folding them inward so that they slightly enclose the mushrooms and form a perfect disk-shaped galette. Cook for 25 minutes, turning occasionally so that the potatoes do not burn or become to brown.
• Serve once the galette is crisp and holds its shape, warm or at room temperature.

MINI MUSHROOM GALETTES

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles small pebbles.
• Mix 1/4 cup ice water, yogurt, and lime juice together in a small bowl. Stir into the flour mixture until dough comes together. Shape dough into a disc; wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in marjoram; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in shiitake mushrooms and button mushrooms; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out dough on a floured work surface with a floured rolling pin. Cut into 5-inch circles. Place circles on the baking sheet.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the leek and mushroom filling in the center of each circle, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold up and overlap edges of border around the filling.
• Whisk egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water together in a small bowl to make egg wash. Brush egg wash over dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes.

WILD MUSHROOM AND LEEK GALETTES

Steps:

• Place dried chanterelles in small bowl. Pour enough hot water over to cover chanterelles; let stand until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain. Finely chop.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add leek and shallot; sauté 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter, then portobellos and chanterelles; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add wine; simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons goat cheese; stir until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 2 tablespoons parsley. Remove from heat.
• Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puff pastry sheet on floured surface to 12x12-inch square. Using 4-inch-diameter biscuit cutter or bowl as guide, cut out 4 pastry rounds. Using small cookie cutters, such as those with leaf shape, cut out decorative designs from remaining pastry, if desired. Place rounds on baking sheet, spacing apart. Spread 1 tablespoon goat cheese atop each. Spread mushroom mixture evenly atop each to within 1/2 inch of edge, dividing equally. Turn pastry edges upward slightly to hold topping in place. Place decorative pastry cutouts on baking sheet around galettes.
• Bake until pastry is puffed and golden, about 15 minutes for decorative cutouts and 30 minutes for galettes.
• Sprinkle galettes with 1 tablespoon parsley. Top with cutouts, if desired.
