What’s in this Lemon, Feta, & Artichoke Galette?

Like I mentioned above you will need only a handful of ingredients to make this galette:

Tips for making this Lemon, Feta, & Artichoke Galette:

1) Purchase store-bought pie crust. Again, I’m not a baker and believe in the power and ease of ready-to-go pie crust! 

2) If you want a more lemon forward galette add some lemon zest to whipped feta! 

3) For the artichokes I recommend using a jar that has the artichokes marinating in some kind of flavored olive oil. The jars might be a little more expensive than canned artichokes, but I’m telling you it’s worth the extra dollar.

Can I make this Lemon, Feta, & Artichoke Galette ahead of time?

You can! I would make the whipped feta a day ahead and then you can assemble everything right before you need to serve!

Can I substitute the feta? 

You bet! If you would prefer cream cheese that’s always a great option or goat cheese works too! 

Can I substitute the artichokes? 

Oh yeah! Roasted red peppers would be an amazing substitute. Or marinated olives!

Yield: Makes one 9-inch galette

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • one pkg store-bought pie crust
  • 1/2 cup feta crumbles
  • 2 to 3 tbsp whipping cream
  • 1 lemon sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup jarred marinated artichokes, sliced thinly

  5. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top. 
  6. In a small bowl beat an egg. Using a pastry brush, brush the border with the egg wash.
  7. Take the border of the dough and fold the dough over the lemon and artichokes making your way around; overlapping as needed. Brush the top of the border with more egg wash.
  8. Bake the galette for about 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before slicing garnishing with oregano or parsley.
