- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3–4 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
- 1 cup thinly sliced pickles (dill pickles work great)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
-
Prepare the Pastry:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes. -
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Prepare the Filling:
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. -
Roll and Cut the Pastry:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 4–6 inch circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. -
Assemble the Galettes:
Spread a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry circle. Top with a few pickle slices.
Fold the edges of the pastry slightly over the filling, leaving the center exposed. -
Add the Finishing Touches:
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning, if desired. -
Bake the Galettes:
Place the galettes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. -
Garnish and Serve:
Let the galettes cool slightly. Garnish with fresh dill and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use any type of pickles you like, but dill pickles provide the best flavor for this recipe.
- You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.
