Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Galettes

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 0.5 cup ice water

Filling

  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 4 eggs
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheese cheddar or gruyere
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

Make the Galette Dough

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  • Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  • Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Assemble the Galettes

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.
  • Transfer each dough circle to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese over the center of each dough circle, leaving a 2-inch border.
  • Carefully create a small well in the center of the filling for each egg. Crack one egg into each well.
  • Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pleating as you go, to create a rustic crust.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk for the egg wash. Brush the crust with the egg wash.

Bake and Serve

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If the crust is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  • Sprinkle with fresh chives before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
