Egg-and-Mushroom Galettes

Makes 4 galettes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces (226 grams) fresh baby portobello mushrooms, finely chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon (2.25 grams) kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons (10 grams) sherry vinegar
  • 1 (8-ounce) package (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (57 grams) shredded Emmentaler cheese
  • 1 large egg yolk (19 grams)
  • All-purpose flour, for dusting
  • All-Butter Piecrust (recipe follows)
  • 5 large eggs (250 grams), divided
  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water
  • Garnish: flaked sea salt, finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  • Position oven rack in bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On prepared pan, toss together mushrooms, kosher salt, and pepper; spread in a single layer.
  • Bake until slightly dried, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on pan. Drizzle vinegar onto mushrooms, and toss to coat. Leave oven on.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, Emmentaler cheese, and egg yolk until smooth.
  • On a lightly floured surface, divide All-Butter Piecrust into 4 portions (about 90 grams each). Roll each portion into an 8-inch circle. Spread ¼ cup (70 grams) cream cheese mixture onto each dough circle, leaving a 2-inch border around edges. Top each with 2 tablespoons(20 grams) mushroom mixture. Fold sides of dough over filling, pleating as desired. Place galettes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water; brush onto dough.
  • Bake until crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Crack 1 egg into center of each galette. Bake until crust is golden brown and eggs are just set, 8 to 10 minutes more, or to desired degree of doneness. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes. Garnish with sea salt and chives, if desired. Serve warm.
