In reply to Cindy B. So yes, I think it should work to use prepared pie crusts instead - the one thing I have tended to find with bought crusts using them for pies is they tend to shrink a little more than homemade crusts, or maybe that is just me, so I would make sure you don't over-fill and leave a decent overlap of pastry folded over the filling so if it does shrink a little, it shouldn't be an issue with leaking filling. As for the ricotta, so I'd skip the ricotta that would be in the dough, but you actually use some spread over the pastry before adding the mushrooms, so still do that (this both adds a little flavor and helps prevent any mushroom juices making the pastry wet). Hope they work out well, and glad you dound the site, look forward to seeing what you make next!

I'm planning on cutting this into appetizer sizes for a dinner party. For a short-cut to save some time, would the Pillsbury prepared pie crust sheets be an acceptable substitute for the dough? I then thought perhaps I could spread the ricotta over the top of the prepared crust instead of incorporating it into the already flattened sheets, but this is my first galette attempt so I want to make sure any short-cuts don't take away from a successful outcome. Thank you! Just discovered your blog, so I'm looking forward to trying many more of your recipes as well.

Hi, I have this in the oven now & it smells wonderful. I even got some pom. Molasses. Wegman's had it. This recipe goes together very easily. Thanks!

In reply to Joan. So glad to hear you enjoyed! And yes, it's definitely one of those things you can change up the cheese a little (especially on top, as you say), and I can see some added spinach working well, too.

I have made this over a dozen times, & it has become a family favorite for those of us who are vegetarian & those that are not! My daughter makes it for her boyfriend who is a mushroom LOVER!. Variations: I sometimes stir in a little fresh spinach at the end of the sautéing of the mushrooms & onion. I have varied the cheese on top of the crust to many that we have on hand. Goat cheese is favorite, as well as shredded cheddar. Thank you so much for having this recipe available! It is a regular part of our menu rotation!

In reply to roberta. Yes, you could, though the pastry will have a bit more of a dense texture to it, which is why I used the pastry flour. If you don't have whole wheat pastry flour, I'd suggest maybe 1/3 to 1/2 regular whole wheat and the rest all purpose/plain to be a little less dense. Hope you enjoy!

I just came across this recipe and would like to try it, though I have not worked with pastry before. Can I used whole wheat flour (with easy modifications, if necessary) instead of pastry flour? Thanks!

Oh my.... first galette I have made it was perfect. We will certainly make this again and try other variations as well.

In reply to Karen. So glad to hear you enjoyed - I can imagine the sherry works well too as it pairs well with mushrooms.

I’ve made this recipe twice! First time I followed it exactly. Second time I added Sherry to the the mushrooms as well as extra garlic. It adds a “punch” to the shrooms. Either way, it is a new go to!

I make galettes all the time but not typically with vegetables. I love mushrooms and this sounds like the best and most savory way to enjoy this recipe.

The mushroom galette looks so delicious, and easy enough for me who is not too neat handling pie. 🙂 I bet it's going to be a great hit for brunch. Bookmarking for sure!
