FIG, HONEY AND GOAT CHEESE GALETTE

Fig, Honey and Goat Cheese Galette is a fig lover’s dream, and one of my favorite ways to enjoy fig season. Nestled in a flaky, buttery crust are sweet figs, tangy goat cheese and drizzles of sweet honey. I first shared this recipe when I started my blog in 2010, and have been making it each summer since.

INGREDIENTS
Dough

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, frozen
• 1/4 cup ice water

Filling

• 5 oz goat cheese, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons good quality honey, plus more for serving
• 6-7 fresh figs, quartered (about 1 1/2 cups sliced figs)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 teaspoons demerara sugar
• fresh thyme leaves, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS
Make the dough:

1. In a medium bowl, stir the flour, salt and sugar together with a fork or a whisk. Grate the butter with a box grater and add to the flour. Using your fingers, begin to work the butter into the dough until you have coarse crumbs. Stir in the water a tablespoon at a time, using a fork to incorporate it into the dough, checking it with your fingers by pinching the dough together. You can also do this with a food processor, if you wish. Do not over work the dough – you want to be able to see bits of butter within the dough, and it will still be rather shaggy and loose. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use your hands to bring it together into a ball, but be careful not to overwork the dough. When the mixture pulls together into a ball, wrap the dough in a piece of plastic wrap, form it into a disk, and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.
