The other day I asked Topher what recipe I make is his favorite, and he actually said galette which surprosed me. He said he loves when I make a galette because no one else has ever made him a galette, he also loves that it can be sweet or savory and it’s not too much pastry. Since cooking is one of the ways I show love, I guess there are many more galettes in my future, haha! Soon folks will be asking you to make a galette for them too!

How to make Caramelized Onion Sweet Potato Galette:
First off, you can use store-bought pie crust or puff pastry or you can make your own pie crust, totally your choice! I like having shortcuts when time or energy is lacking. If you’re using store-bought pastry, I used two pie shells to make sure it rolls out wide enough.
Start by caramelizing your onions. In a skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add in your sliced onions and let cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Pour in the apple cider and add the thyme, chili flakes, and sage. Let your onions cook, stirring occasionally until they are a deep brown color, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, roll out your dough into a 9 or 10-inch round. Spread the caramelized onions on the rolled-out pastry, leaving a 2-3 inch border around the edges. Layer the thinly sliced sweet potatoes on top of the caramelized onions. Scatter the goat cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil. Fold up the edges of the pastry around the filling and brush the pastry edges with egg wash.
Bake at 400ºF for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the sweet potato is softened. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
