Preparation Instructions
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Cheese Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped herbs, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and set aside.

Assemble the Galettes
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles (about 4 inches in diameter). Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, leaving the center exposed.

Bake the Galettes
Place the galettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
