Mushroom-bacon Galette

Late to the party on this one, but worth the wait.  

I knew this galette would be a hit because my mom cooked it first -and 

generously shared her delicious results ! Many raves all around and my 

younger son even requested an encore for his girlfriend's visit.  She loved it !

I went with thinly chopped leeks for this savory galette, added to the bacon and 

mushrooms, seasonings, a bit of heavy cream and some almonds - it was 

a rich and delicious treat. 

Dorie's galette dough recipe worked beautifully and while I've rarely met a 

dough/crust recipe I didn't enjoy, this one was truly a keeper. 

The addition of freshly grated Parmesan was an unexpected part of the recipe. 

I'm so glad Dorie thought of it, the flavor really enhanced the galette. I look 

forward to revisiting this basic recipe concept along with the delicious galette 

dough as we work our way through the summer vegetable season.
