Why make galette in the air fryer?
When it comes to making galette, the air fryer offers a quick and efficient way to achieve the desired texture: a crisp crust and a soft, juicy inside.
What is galette, and where does it come from?
Galette is a French dish that can be described as a rustic tart or open pie. It comes from French country cooking, where it was traditionally made as a simple dish with a filling of fruit or vegetables. The original version of galette was baked over an open fire or in a traditional oven. In the past, galette was often sweet, filled with apples or berries and served as a dessert, but today there are countless variations, both sweet and savoury. The galette here is the rustic, open tart with a folded edge – not the Breton buckwheat crêpe, which is also called a galette.
The perfect glass for galette with goat cheese and Parma ham
For a rustic and flavourful galette with goat cheese and Parma ham, we recommend a glass of 2022 Emilio Moro Ribera del Duero. This full-bodied Spanish red made from Tempranillo has notes of dark berries and toasted oak, creating a lovely contrast to the tanginess of the goat cheese and the salty umami of the Parma ham. The wine’s depth and structure lift the whole meal without overpowering the filling.
What flavour character does this galette have?
The galette recipe we’ve presented here combines different flavour profiles to create a harmonious and delicious experience. The goat cheese adds a creamy and slightly tangy flavour that’s perfectly balanced by the salty Parma ham. The tomatoes add freshness and juiciness, while the potatoes contribute a rich and mild sweetness. The sautéed onions provide a deep and aromatic flavour, and the herbs add a fresh and spicy note. The crisp puff pastry forms a perfect contrast to the rich filling and adds a delicious texture.
How do you get the galette creamy inside and crisp outside?
The key to achieving the perfect galette lies in the balance between cooking time and temperature. By preheating the air fryer to 180 °C and baking the galette for 20–25 minutes, you achieve the ideal texture. To ensure the galette becomes tender and soft inside, it’s important to use enough filling and to cut the ingredients into suitable sizes so they cook evenly. At the same time, the crisp crust contributes a pleasant contrast in texture, but it’s important not to overbake the galette, as this can result in a dry consistency. By following the recipe closely and keeping an eye on the cooking time, you can achieve the perfect balance between a tender, creamy inside and a crisp crust.
What other ingredients can you use in a galette?
Galette is incredibly versatile and can be adapted to taste and season. In addition to the ingredients mentioned in this recipe, you can experiment with a wide range of fillings. Fresh vegetables such as courgette, spinach, mushrooms and onions can all be used to add flavour and texture. You can also add different kinds of cheese for an extra creamy consistency, or try different types of meat such as chicken, bacon or ham for a more protein-rich dish. Here only your imagination sets the limits, so be creative and play with different flavour combinations!
Try adding a little Dijon mustard to the filling. The Dijon mustard adds an extra layer of complexity and brings a subtle sharpness.
Tips and tricks from the author: Morten Jensen
What do you serve with a galette from the air fryer?
Galette is a complete dish in itself, but if you’d like to serve it as part of a larger meal, there are several options. A light green salad with a simple vinaigrette dressing can work as a fresh and tasty side that goes well with the rich flavour of galette. You can also serve it with a slice of fresh bread or a piece of baguette to soak up the juices from the filling. A cool white wine or a light red wine is also a good choice as a companion to this meal.

FAQ
Yes, a ready-rolled sheet of puff pastry from the chiller cabinet is exactly what this recipe is made for. Unroll it onto baking paper, spread the filling in the middle and fold the edges over. Bake the galette at 180 °C for 20–25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Absolutely. Leave out the Parma ham and give the filling extra flavour with, for example, sautéed mushrooms, spinach or courgette. The goat cheese, tomatoes and soft onions carry the flavour nicely, and the time in the air fryer stays the same.
Let the galette cool completely and keep it covered in the fridge for up to 1–2 days. Warm it in the air fryer at 160 °C for 5–7 minutes until heated through – that way the puff pastry turns crisp again. The galette isn’t suitable for freezing, as the texture deteriorates.
