I love dessert galettes but make me choose between a savory and sweet, hands down I will always choose savory! So, when I decided to create this breakfast galette, I knew my husband would like it, 15 minutes later and half of the galette was gone! This breakfast galette is cheesy which is always a great thing, but combined with the jammy eggs takes the lead. That flaky crust is perfect for soaking up the perfectly cooked yolks. I think galettes are a fancy name for open faced pot pies and are a great way to load the dough with toppings. The folded golden edges gives an added texture and has the perfect crunch.

For this galette, I layered Buffalo mozzarella to serve as the perfect bed for loading the top of it with sautéed veggies and those jammy eggs. I love getting creative with food and feel that any meal can be modified to make this your own. If you’re not crazy about Buffalo mozzarella, you can use your favorite cheese and veggies too. I’ve used smoked Gouda and gruyere cheese before and loved it. I think the possibilities are endless and could also be a perfect lunch or dinner.

For the crust, I added lebneh which is a yogurt that’s been strained to remove most of the whey, which results in a thicker consistency than regular yogurt. The acidity of the yogurt provides an extra flakey and tender crust, my favorite types of crust.

I hope you give this a try and I hope you enjoy it as much s as we do!
