Fig and Goat Cheese Galette

Ingredients

• Egg (1, beaten (for egg wash))
• Fresh thyme leaves (1 tablespoon)
• Honey (2 tablespoons)
• Goat cheese (4 ounces, crumbled)
• Fresh figs (8-10, sliced)
• Ice water (3-4 tablespoons)
• Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, cold and cubed)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)
• All (purpose flour - 1 1/4 cups)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
2. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
7. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Arrange the sliced figs and crumbled goat cheese in the center of the dough, leaving a border of about 2 inches.
9. Drizzle the honey over the figs and goat cheese, and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
10. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary.
11. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg wash.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
13. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
14. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
