Recipe

There’s something quietly stunning about a galette — that free-form, golden pastry hugging colorful shaved carrots, tangy goat cheese, and sweet honey drizzle. It’s fancy enough for weekend brunch, easy enough for Tuesday night dinner, and always disappears faster than you can say “seconds.”

The secret? Paper-thin carrot ribbons that cook quickly and curl beautifully. A quick spin with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater gives you those perfect translucent slices in seconds — no mandoline drama required.

🍴Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

For the crust

1⅓ cups all-purpose flour

½ tsp salt

½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

¼ cup ice water (more if needed)

For the filling

4–5 medium carrots (mixed colors if possible)

5 oz soft goat cheese, crumbled

1 small red onion, very thinly sliced

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)

Salt & freshly cracked black pepper

1 egg (for egg wash)

🥕Step-by-Step: Shaved Carrot & Goat Cheese Galette

Make the dough

Pulse flour, salt, and cold butter in a food processor until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until dough just comes together. Pat into a disk, wrap, and chill 30 minutes (or overnight).

Shave the carrots

Using the Geedel vegetable slicer with the slicing blade, feed peeled carrots through for whisper-thin ribbons. Toss with a pinch of salt and let sit 5 minutes to soften slightly.

Assemble the galette

Roll chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle on parchment. Scatter goat cheese in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Pile on shaved carrots and red onion slices. Drizzle with olive oil and honey, sprinkle thyme, salt, and pepper. Fold the edges over the filling, pleating as you go. Brush crust with beaten egg.

Bake to golden perfection

Slide parchment onto a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) until crust is deep golden and carrots are tender with caramelized edges. Let cool 5–10 minutes.

Serve & enjoy

Slice into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature — perfect with a crisp white wine or alongside soup.

🧀Tips & Twists

Add Geedel-shredded Parmesan on top during the last 5 minutes for extra crisp.

Swap goat cheese for ricotta or feta.

Make it sweet-savory with a balsamic glaze finish.

Vegan version: use plant-based cheese and oil-based crust.
