Yield Makes one 11-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 ounces cream cheese
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces Swiss chard, stems separated and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 large onion, sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons golden raisins
3 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
6 ounces ricotta, room temperature
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 large egg yolk

Steps:

  • Crust: Pulse flour, oats, and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter, cream cheese, and egg yolk; pulse until dough just holds together, 15 to 20 seconds.
  • Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and flatten into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Filling: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add chard stems, onion, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until stems are soft and slightly brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add vinegar and cook, stirring, until liquid is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in raisins. Transfer mixture to a nonreactive bowl.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add anchovies, if using; cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Stir in thyme. Add chard leaves and cook until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat both cheeses with 2 tablespoons cream until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in nutmeg; season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a large sheet of parchment, roll out dough to a 1/8-inch-thick round, about 15 inches in diameter. Arrange onion mixture evenly over dough, leaving a 3-inch border. Spread ricotta mixture over onion mixture; top with chard mixture. Fold edges of dough over and gently press down to seal. Transfer tart (still on parchment) to a baking sheet. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, beat together egg yolk and remaining 1 tablespoon cream. Brush exposed dough with egg wash. Bake until crust is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm not a huge fan of Swiss chard, but I loved this galette! The ricotta filling really mellowed out the flavor of the chard, and the crust was perfectly crispy.

This galette is so versatile! I've made it with all sorts of different fillings, and it's always delicious. My favorite is the classic Swiss chard and ricotta filling, but I've also made it with spinach, artichoke, and even pumpkin.
