Broccoli + Cheddar Galette

an ode to my childhood guilty pleasure- panera i"ll never forget you

My mother has always been very particular about the food we eat as a family, so growing up, we almost never ate out. There was a Panera about five minutes from our house, and I used to always beg her to get lunch there. My personal favorite? The broccoli and cheddar soup in a bread bowl. Something about that salty, cheesy soup soaking into the bread would get me every single time! It was a rare occasion, but I still remember the taste.

This galette is very much inspired by that soup and is honestly one of my favorites that I’ve made. I love making these rustic tarts and experimenting with new flavors- and I’m confident in the fact that I have the best tart dough recipe ever.

I recently switched to using Kerrygold butter, and even though it’s a bit harder to work with as it’s softer and has a higher fat content, the pastry has never turned out flakier! Highly recommend giving it a try if you’re fairly confident handling pastry.

I hope you love this recipe!
