Za'atar Egg and Rainbow Chard Galette

While typically you would likely come across mostly sweet tasting galettes (a French word for a freeform cake ensconced in pastry), we've created a delicious savoury galette perfect for lunch or dinner. Relying on store-bought puff pastry means this recipe is very achievable for time poor professionals, looking to add a bit of international flavour to their weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch rainbow chard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 375g all butter puff pastry, just thawed (see tip)
  • 100g firm mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • 3 small eggs, plus 1 beaten egg for glazing pastry
  • 2- 3 tbsp marinated Persian feta, crumbled
  • Za’atar dukkah to serve

  1. Preheat oven 220°C/ 200°C (fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Trim and remove stalks from chard. Coarsely chop leaves.
  3. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add stalks and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Add garlic, cumin and leaves, cook until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  5. Carefully roll out pastry on a lightly floured workbench and trim to form approx. 30-35cm circle. Place onto lined baking tray. Arrange chard leaves and mozzarella over the top, leaving a 4cm border. Fold the edges over to partially enclose the filling, overlapping the dough as needed. Brush edges with beaten egg and bake 15-18 minutes or until pastry is lightly golden and mostly cooked.
  6. Pull out galette and make 3 indents into the filling. Crack an egg into each indent. Cut stalks to fit and arrange over the top of galette. Cook a further 5-7 minutes or until pastry is golden and egg whites are just set.
  7. To serve, crumble over feta and sprinkle with za’atar dukkah. Serve warm.
