Savoury Cheese Galette

This savoury galette has a delicious and rich flavour, with a flaky crust that perfectly complements the creamy cheese filling.

It makes for a great appetizer or main dish alongside a salad.

This galette can be high in fat, given the cheese and butter used in the recipe.

It is recommended to eat in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

This savoury galette contains calcium and protein from the cheese and almonds.
It also contains some antioxidants from the red grapes and egg yolk.

	1 lb Roquefort cheese or 1 lb camembert cheese , softened and rind discarded , cut into pieces
	1/4 cup heavy cream
	1/4 cup dry white wine
	1 large egg yolk
	2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
	3 cups all-purpose flour
	2 tablespoons sugar
	1/4 teaspoon salt
	3/4 cup cold butter , cut into bits
	2 large eggs , beaten lightly
	1/4 cup sliced almonds , toasted lightly
	1 large egg yolk
	1 tablespoon water
	red grapes , as an accompaniment

1.	In a food processor, pulse together the Roquefort cheese, heavy cream, wine, egg yolk, and 2 tablespoons flour to form a smooth filling. Transfer the filling to a bowl and chill until ready to use.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 cups flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the eggs and 1/4 cup water, toss the mixture until it forms a dough, and knead the dough lightly until smooth.
3.	Roll the dough into a 15-inch round on a floured surface, transfer it to a large baking sheet and spread the cheese filling over the dough.
4.	Fold the edges of the dough up over the filling and brush the edges with the egg yolk mixture. Sprinkle the almonds over the edges and bake the galette in a preheated oven at 375F for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool, and serve with red grapes.
