Whip up a simple pastry to form this rustic galette, and fill it with an irresistible combination of goat's cheese, ricotta and creme fraiche.

Ingredients (9)

  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) plain flour
  • 125g chilled unsalted butter, chopped
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 2 bunches spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 140g soft goat’s cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120g) ricotta
  • 3/4 cup (75g) coarsely grated mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup (60g) creme fraiche or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (20g) grated parmesan

Method

  • 1.
    Place the flour, butter and a pinch of salt in a food processor and whiz until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. With the motor running, add 1/4 cup (60ml) iced water through the feed tube, processing until a smooth ball forms. Enclose in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • 2.
    On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough into a 35cm circle, trimming the edges. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the pastry disc on the tray and chill for 30 minutes.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • 4.
    Warm the oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add the spring onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until soft. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • 5.
    Combine the spring onion, goat’s cheese, ricotta, mozzarella, creme fraiche and parmesan, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • 6.
    Fill the centre of the pastry with the cheese mixture, leaving a 5cm border around the edge. Fold the edge over the filling and roughly pleat.
  • 7.
    Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes until golden and set. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature.
