A galette was somewhat of a new concept to me, but once I tried one, I was hooked. It wasn’t just the ease of making it, it was the way the crust cooked leaving some parts flaky and some parts a little more doughy that truly made this dish unique. For this galette I have taken some sweet potatoes, sage, hamburger, and some cheddar cheese and combined them in one dish making a beautifully comforting and hearty meal for any night of the week.

What is a Galette? A galette is a rustic, freeform tart that originates from France. Unlike traditional pies or tarts, which require a structured pan, a galette is made by folding the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a beautifully imperfect shape. The crust is typically flaky and buttery, while the filling can be sweet or savory, making galettes incredibly versatile.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Galette Crust
- Grate butter into the flour, add sugar and salt, mix, and blend with Greek yogurt.
- Chill dough before rolling it out.
Prepare the Filling
- Sauté onions and garlic in butter, then brown the beef.
- Add fresh sage, cook until tender.
Assemble the Galette
- Roll out the chilled dough into a rustic circle.
- Add one thin layer of sweet potatoes (Use this to slice the sweet potatoes – your welcome in advance), beef mixture and then cheese. Repeat one more time leaving space around the edges.
- Fold edges inward for a freeform tart.
- Brush the outside of the tart with an egg wash.
Bake and Serve
- Bake at 400°F for 35-40 minutes. This is my favorite pan to bake on as things don’t stick!
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a light green salad for balance.
Pair with a glass of red wine or a warm herbal tea.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra depth of flavor.

Storage & Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F to maintain crispness. This is not something I would reheat in the microwave. It just won’t taste as good as the crust will get soft and soggy.
