📝 Preparation Steps
1
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring often, until softened, about ⏱️ 6 minutes.
butter (salted or unsalted is fine)1 tablespoonmedium leeks (cleaned and thinly sliced, white and light green parts only (about 3 cups))2
2
Season with salt and pepper, then add Dijon mustard, cream and 1 teaspoon rosemary.
salt and pepper (to taste)Dijon mustard1 tablespoonfresh rosemary (minced, divided)2 teaspoons
3
Cook until the cream has reduced by half and the mixture is thick, about ⏱️ 5-8 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Let cool completely.
4
When ready to assemble the galette, preheat the oven to 375℉ and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
5
Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it is about ¼ inch thick and 14-16 inches around.
6
Gently roll the dough up on to the rolling pin and transfer it to the center of the sheet pan. It should hang off the sides slightly.
7
Spread the cooled leek mixture evenly around the dough, leaving a 2 inch border on the outside.
8
Crumble goat cheese on top, then arrange the pears in a circular pattern. Sprinkle with remaining teaspoon of rosemary, salt, pepper and chopped walnuts.

Carefully gather the outer border of dough and fold it up and over the filling to form a 1-2 inch crust.

Brush the outer crust with egg wash if desired (this will produce a shinier, more golden crust).

Bake for ⏱️ 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for ⏱️ 30 minutes before slicing.
