What is a galette?
A galette is a rustic style open pie with the pastry sides pushed up over the filling and baked on a tray. The filling for a galette is normally fruit but try a savory galette for a vegetarian main dish.
We have a low carb star fruit galette recipe for those of you with a sweet tooth!
How to make a low carb galette
What you need
- Almond & Coconut Flour - I like the combination of these two low carb flours for a savoury pastry.
- Xanthan gum - This can be substituted as per the tips below.
- Butter - Grass fed if possible
- Cream cheese - The secret ingredient to a great low carb pastry.
- Egg - Helps with the rich pastry flavour.
- Mushrooms - Any mushroom can be used.
- Onion & garlic - Add a great savoury flavour
- Blue cheese - A strong cheese to enhance the mushrooms but you could use another cheese.
- Thyme - A touch of thyme brings out the mushroom flavour
Recipe Tips & Suggestions
If you don’t have xanthan gum, this can be replaced with ground flaxseed. Use one teaspoon of ground flaxseed mixed with two teaspoons of water to make a gel. This will help bind the pastry.
Use a different range of mushrooms where available for extra taste, texture and appearance.
Make smaller individual galettes by halving the dough. A quarter may be a bit small.

Ingredients
Pastry
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 3 oz butter
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 medium egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
Filling
- 8 oz mushrooms
- 1 medium onion finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 oz blue cheese
Egg Wash
- 1 small egg beaten
Instructions
Make the Pastry
Place the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, butter, cream cheese, egg and salt in a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes a soft dough.
Remove the mixture from the processor and make into a large ball. Wrap it in a piece of parchment paper and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
Make the Filling
Heat half the butter (2 tablespoons) in a large saucepan on a medium heat.
Saute the onion slices and cook until soft and golden.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Slice the mushrooms.
Heat the remaining butter in the pan and cook the garlic and mushrooms until the mushrooms are brown.
Season with the thyme, salt and pepper.
Remove from the pan and allow to cool.
Assemble
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees
Remove the dough from the fridge.
Roll out the dough in between two layers of parchment paper in a rough circular shape. The dough should be between ½ to 1 cm thick.
Spoon the mushroom mixture over the dough leaving a 1-2 inch border around the edges.
Crumble the blue cheese over the mushroom filling.
Gently bring up the edges of the pastry circles over the mushrooms so it holds them in and almost forms a rough crust.
Place the galette on a parchment paper lined baking tray.
Brush the pastry edges with the egg wash.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
