Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cubes of butter and cut them into the flour with a fork or your fingers until coarse.
1 ⅓ cups AP flour, ½ tsp. salt, ½ cup cold butter
Add the egg and 2 tbsp. cold water and work the mixture together, just until it forms a ball (adding one more tablespoon of cold water if needed). Flatten into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
1 egg, 2 tbsp. cold water
Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle that is approximately 13”-14” in diameter. Transfer to the parchment-lined pan.
Combine the pumpkin purée with the egg and salt. Spread the pumpkin mixture out onto the dough circle, leaving a 2” border of pastry around the outside.
2 cups canned pumpkin purée, 1 large egg, 1 tsp. salt
Add the crumbled goat cheese and sliced shallots evenly on top of the pumpkin. Sprinkle with black pepper. Fold the pastry border over the filling. The center of the galette should be left open.
5 oz. goat cheese, ¼ cup shallots
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on it.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Slice and serve!

Notes

The dough does not have to be rolled out into a perfect circle because it is meant to be rustic, but you can trim the edges for a cleaner edge if that is important to you.
