Rustic galettes are the perfect choice for whenever you need a quick impressive dish either savory or sweet. Mushroom Egg Galette is a comforting dish full of flavor and color perfect for any time of the day.
Mushrooms are first sauteed with onion, garlic and thyme for extra flavor. The buttery crust is filled with gruyere cheese and topped with mushroom mixture, shaped into rustic galettes and baked until golden. The egg is added on top bringing color and flavor creating an irresistible dish for your family or guests.
How to make Mushroom Egg Galette
Begin by preparing the crust. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Incorporate butter into the mixture using a pastry blender, fork, or pastry processor until crumbs form. Then, add water and stir until the ingredients are well combined.
Next, divide the dough into four equal pieces and wrap each piece in plastic wrap. Shape them into disks and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the dough to firm up.
Meanwhile, you can start preparing the filling. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add chopped onions and garlic. Sauté them for approximately 5 minutes, or until they become softened and fragrant. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and continue cooking for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. As the mushrooms cook, they release their moisture and develop a rich, savory flavor.
To enhance the taste of the filling, add soy sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, absorbing the flavors. Once done, remove the skillet from heat and set it aside to cool.
While the filling cools, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough into an 8-inch (20cm) circle. Place the circles onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
How to assemble the galettes
Spread a layer of cheese over each dough circle, leaving a small border of about half an inch (2cm) around the edges. Next, evenly distribute the mushroom mixture on top of the cheese.
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a rustic, free-form shape. Brush the exposed dough with beaten egg, which adds a golden sheen when baked.
Place the galettes in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the crust turns slightly golden. Once done, remove them from the oven and make a well in the center of each galette.
In separate small bowls, crack four eggs, ensuring they are of a suitable size for the galettes. If necessary, remove some of the egg whites if the eggs are too large. Gently place one egg into the well of each galette. Return the galettes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Finally, garnish the galettes with fresh thyme and freshly ground black pepper. These delightful mushroom and cheese galettes with baked eggs are now ready to be enjoyed as a satisfying meal.

I love this recipe and the concept of an egg galette. So pretty. The possibilities are endless. Looking forward to making these.
can you recommend an already made/store bought dough that could be used in place of the one from scratch? my attempts have been unsuccessful to say the least when I try to make the dough from scratch- but I love all your recipes and I hope one day to be able to have great dough!! This recipe looks so delicious though and I really hope I can try it with a pre made dough. thanks for your help!!
Hi Diane.
Yes, you can try with a pre made dough. It should be ok.
Made this for dinner last night. Everyone in the family just loved it. the dough was so flaky and wonderful. Thank you. love the pics.
Could you make this with a scrambled egg mixture, I don’t like runny eggs.
You have to know the eggs here were not runny.. were fully cooked.. but you can also try beating the eggs first before pouring over the top… will work as well..
This is delicious! I will prepare this evening for my partner. Thank you very much
I’ve tried this recipe last night and it was great. The only thing is that the dough was crumbly. Did I do something wrong?
Hi Rachele.
Just add a bit more water if necessary.
I would like to make this recipe. I see the trouble with some is the dough. Are there any pointers you could give to ensure the dough comes out correctly?
Thank you so much! Beautiful and simple recipe!
