Ingredients

A golden, rustic galette filled with layers of Cache Valley® Creamery cheese and vibrant spring vegetables, wrapped in a buttery, parmesan-infused crust.

  • premade pie crust, chilled (not frozen)
  • ⅓ cup Cache Valley® Creamery Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 cup Cache Valley® Creamery Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 cup Cache Valley® Creamery Shredded Medium Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup zucchini, thinly sliced into rounds
  • ½ cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: hot honey or red pepper flakes for garnish

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll the crust with parmesan: On a lightly floured surface, unroll the premade pie crust. Evenly sprinkle the Cache Valley® Creamery Parmesan Cheese over the surface, then gently roll it out with a rolling pin to press the cheese into the dough and slightly enlarge the circle to about 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add asparagus and zucchini; sauté for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Stir in peas, lemon zest, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the galette: Transfer the rolled-out pie crust to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle half of the Cache Valley® Mozzarella and Cheddar in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Spoon the sautéed vegetable mixture over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese.
  5. Fold and finish: Fold the edges of the crust up over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic shape. Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg.
  6. Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra thyme, a sprinkle of chili flakes, or a drizzle of hot honey if you like a little heat.
