Ingredients: 

For the Crust: 

-¾ cup flour 

-¾ cup whole wheat flour 

-½  cup butter 

-½ tsp salt 

-2 tbsp cold water 

Pumpkin Spice Filling: 

-4 tbsp butter 

-1 cup pumpkin puree 

-1 large egg 

-1 onion (caramelized) 

-4 tbsp Evie’s Snacks Sweet and Salty Pecans 

-5 tbsp goat cheese (topping) 

-Drizzle of honey 

Instructions: 

For the Crust:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add Water: Add the cold water  to the flour mixture and stir until a dough begins to form.
3. Chill Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead just until it comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

For the Pumpkin Spice Filling:

1. Caramelize Onion: In a skillet, cook the sliced onion over medium heat with a tablespoon of butter until soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.
2. Prepare Pumpkin Filling: In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Stir in the pumpkin puree and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing some of the moisture to evaporate. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once cool, mix in the egg until well combined.

Assemble the Galette:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
3. Add Filling: Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1 ½ -inch border around the edges. Scatter the caramelized onions over the pumpkin layer, the chopped pecans, and goat cheese. 
4. Fold Edges: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic border. The center should remain open.
5. Bake: Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
6. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Enjoy your rustic pumpkin spice pecan galette—perfect for a cozy autumn gathering!
