DIRECTIONS

1. Pre-heat oven to 190°C, and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a pan, melt butter over medium heat and add onion, garlic and vinegar. Cook until translucent. Once done, put it aside and let it cool for a few minutes.
3. Add the following to the onion mix once cooled: cream cheese, goats cheese, sprinkling of thyme, salt and pepper. Mix well with a fork.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry in a ±35cm circle, and spread the onion/cream cheese mixture over the top of the pastry, leaving about a 5cm border.
5. Arrange the thinly slices veggies in a circle pattern over the mixture.
6. Crumble the extra feta over the top and season with salt and pepper.
7. Fold the excess dough up and over the veggies, forming a border.
8. Brush the dough with an egg wash and bake until the veggies are tender and the crust is golden brown, ±50 minutes.
9. Meanwhile, mix together olive oil and vinegar in a small jug. Once the galette comes out the oven, drizzle the dressing all over the top and add a big bunch of fresh microgreens before serving!
