Ingredients
  

Pastry and Filling
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry Make sure it’s fully thawed for best results.
  • ½ cup jam Use fig, apricot, or your favorite.
  • 8 ounces Brie cheese Thinly sliced; can substitute with camembert.
  • 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme Leaves only; for flavor infusion.
  • to taste freshly ground black pepper Adds mild heat.
  • 1 large egg Beaten for brushing the pastry.
Dusting
  • to taste all-purpose flour For dusting work surface.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to approximately 13 x 11 inches.
  3. Place the pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Using a sharp knife, score a border 1 ½ inches from the edge all around the pastry.
  5. Prick the central area with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.
Assembly
  1. Evenly spread the jam inside the scored border.
  2. Layer sliced Brie over the jam, sprinkle with thyme leaves, and season with freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, pleating as necessary for a rustic appearance.
  4. Brush the exposed pastry border generously with beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the crust is puffed, deeply golden, and crisp.
  2. Allow the galette to cool slightly, slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Serve warm with a dollop of crème fraîche or a sprinkle of arugula. If you have leftovers, wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for crispness.
