Baked Egg Galettes
A very yummy recipe to use up a spare sheet of puff pastry.
2 large or 4 small red bell peppers, cut into 1/2 inch strips
2 small onions, (red or white) halved and cut into 1/2 inch wedges
fresh sprigs of thyme, leaves removed
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
6 Tbsp olive oil
handful fresh parsley, chopped
handful cilantro, chopped
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten, for brushing the pastry
12 tsp sour cream (I used Greek yogurt)
4 large fresh eggs
salt and fresh cracked pepper
Preheat the oven to 400. Mix together the pepper, onions, thyme and spices in a bowl. Add the olive oil and toss well so that everything is coated. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes, stirring the veggies a few times so they don’t burn. Once roasted, sprinkle the veggies with half the fresh herbs and set aside.
Roll out the pastry on a floured surface until it reaches a 12×12 inch square. Cut into four 6 inch squares. Transfer to two parchment or silpat lined baking sheets. Take a dull knife and score a little 1/4 inch frame around each square of pastry. Don’t cut all the way through. Prick the inside of the squares all over with the tines of a fork. Put back in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Turn the oven up to 425. Remove the pastry from the fridge and brush with the beaten egg. Spread the inside of each square with 3 tsp of sour cream. Top each with some of the veggie mixture; spread it out evenly, leaving the borders free, and leaving a shallow depression in the center for the egg, which will go in later.
Bake for about 10 minutes until rising and starting to brown. Remove and carefully crack an egg into the center of each galette. Put back into the oven for about 10 minutes until the egg is set. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and remaining herbs. Eat right away!
My puff pastry was stuck together, so I only ended up making 3. And I sprinkled some feta cheese on top, too, because feta makes everything better. :) Overall a very simple, yummy recipe that takes a bit of time but not much work. Great for dinner, probably even better for brunch.
