Description
A savory galette featuring thinly sliced sweet potatoes, deeply caramelized onions, and a creamy whipped feta spread, all nestled in a flaky puff pastry crust and finished with crunchy pistachios and a drizzle of spicy chili honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato, thinly sliced into rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry (from a 17.3-oz box), thawed
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized, about 25–30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the butter. Add the sweet potato rounds in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook until just starting to soften and lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 12-inch round. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the feta and cream cheese. Mash with a fork until smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the whipped feta mixture over the puff pastry, leaving a 1.5-inch border. Arrange the caramelized onions evenly over the feta. Layer the sweet potato rounds on top in overlapping concentric circles.
- Fold the edges of the pastry up and over the filling, pleating as needed. Brush the pastry edges with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- While the galette bakes, make the chili honey: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the honey and red pepper flakes. Microwave for 15 seconds, then stir. Set aside.
- Remove the galette from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and drizzle with chili honey. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, use a mandoline to slice the sweet potato uniformly. If you don’t have puff pastry, a rolled-out pie crust works too. The chili honey can be made ahead and stored at room temperature for up to a week.
