Nutrition Information
- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 bunch spring onions (about 6-8), sliced (whites and greens separated)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 1/2 cup shredded gruyere or mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Let’s Get Cooking! (The Step-by-Step)
Ready? Set your timer. Let’s race to a delicious finish. This is a one-pan wonder for the filling.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto the prepared baking sheet. If it’s not already a rectangle, gently press it into one. Prick the center all over with a fork, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. This stops the middle from puffing up too much.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms. Don’t crowd them! Let them sit for a minute to get a good sear. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they’ve released their water and are golden brown.
- Add the white parts of the spring onions and the garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Take the skillet off the heat. Stir in the green parts of the spring onions and the gruyere cheese.
- Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the center of the puff pastry, spreading it evenly over the area you forked. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top.
- Fold the bare edges of the pastry up and over the filling, pleating as you go. It should look rustic and beautiful. Brush the folded pastry edges with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and a deep golden brown. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. This is the hardest part, but it helps the filling set.
What to Serve With This Dish
This galette is a full meal hero. But if you want to round it out, keep it fast.
A simple arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette is perfect. The peppery greens cut through the richness.
For something heartier, try a quick tomato soup. Dunking the flaky crust is a joy. Roasted asparagus or green beans also work in a pinch. Just toss them in oil and salt and roast them while the galette bakes. For another light and seasonal soup pairing, this Spring Minestrone Soup is a fantastic choice.
Make This Recipe Your Own (Quick Swaps)
Don’t have spring onions? No problem. Use one small regular onion, diced. Add a handful of fresh chives at the end for that green kick.
Want more protein? Crumble in some goat cheese or feta with the mushrooms. A few slices of prosciutto on top before baking makes it a non-veg hit.
Swap the mushrooms for thinly sliced zucchini or bell peppers. The method stays the same. Use what you have!
How to Store Leftovers (If You Have Any!)
I know, leftovers are unlikely. But if you’re lucky, here’s how to handle them.
Let the galette cool completely. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat slices in a 350°F oven or toaster oven for about 10 minutes. This brings back the crunch. The microwave will make the pastry soggy, so avoid it if you can.

My puff pastry is frozen. What do I do?
Thaw it in the fridge overnight. Or, leave it on the counter for about 40 minutes. It needs to be pliable but still cold for best results.

No, but it gives that gorgeous golden shine. A little milk or cream works in a pinch. You can even skip it, the pastry will still taste great.
