What is a Vegetable Galette?
Galettes are types of French pastries. They come in different varieties including circular cakes, free-form pies, buckwheat crepes, and large, soft cookies. Most variations are sweet, but they can be savory, too!
Unlike other pastries, galettes are shaped and baked right on a baking sheet. The edges are folded over to create a crust and hold in the filling. As a result, the top of the galette is open so you’re able to get a peek at the filling.
Mediterranean-Inspired Ingredients
Below is an overview of the ingredients and instructions for this recipe. Don’t forget to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details and instructions!
- Puff Pastry – Find this in the frozen or refrigerated section of your local grocery store. If frozen, just make sure to thaw it first!
- Cheese – Ricotta cheese forms the base of the layers. Then, we incorporated crumbled feta for a creamy texture and a tangy taste.
- Vegetables – Sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and grape tomatoes add lots of color, nutrients, and a bold, savory flavor.
- Olives – We use a combination of green olives and kalamata olives to add a briny flavor.
- Seasonings – Salt, pepper, and dried oregano enhance the savoriness of the ingredients.
- Olive Oil – This helps caramelize the veggies and adds a peppery taste!
- Egg – A whisked egg is brushed over the puff pastry, creating a crisp golden crust.

Serving Suggestions
We think this galette makes for an amazing vegetarian meal when served solo! However, you can also pair it with sides and appetizers like tomato and burrata salad, marinated tomatoes and feta dip, or crockpot spinach and artichoke dip.
Or, it can also serve as a beautiful side dish with main courses such as shrimp kofta meatballs, Greek lemon chicken, or beef kofta.
Common Questions About This Mediterranean Vegetable Galette Recipe?
Is galette dough the same as pie dough?
Yes, most galette recipes feature pie dough that is rolled out into a flat slab. For this recipe, we use puff pastry to keep things super easy!
What are the three different types of galette?
The three most common types of galette are galette Breton, galette de rois, and fruit galette. A galette Breton is a buckwheat crepe. A galette de rois is a type of flat cake made with pastry dough. Finally, a fruit galette is a freeform pie shaped around the filling.
How do you keep the bottom of a galette from getting soggy?
If you’re worried about your galette becoming soggy, brush egg wash over the pastry before adding the filling.
Can I store leftovers for later?
This recipe is best enjoyed right away. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just keep in mind that the longer your galette sits, the more likely it is to become soggy!
Reheat leftovers in the oven just until warm.
