Take-out Tuesday, Anything Goes Galette
If you find your refrigerator has a little of this, and a little of that, but not enough of anything to stand alone, a galette is a great way to stretch things into a whole additional meal
I had a little corn, some fresh spinach and frozen artichoke hearts
Anything goes here, and throw in some bacon for extra likeability 🐷
Start by frying the bacon, if you cut it into small pieces you can stir it instead of having to flip the strips individually, and it cooks a little faster
Remove bacon to paper towels, pour off all but 2 T bacon grease, and saute chopped onion until soft
You can also use leftover ham, chicken or turkey, starting by sauteing the onion in a little olive oil and butter and then add the meat later after the vegetables are done
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute
Once garlic is fragrant, saute vegetables
I did the artichoke hearts first, to get some color on them
Season with salt and pepper
Add fresh spinach last and cover with a lid for a few minutes until it cooks down
Add bacon {or ham or turkey} back to vegetables
A galette is similar to a quiche, just minus the eggs
I like to “paint” the bottom of the pie crust with a little flavor, you can use alfredo sauce as pictured, or mayonnaise, mustard, whatever will blend with your vegetable flavors
Add your veggies, top with a tasty cheese and fold edges in over filling
Bake at 350 for 35- 45 minutes

Jenna, your galette looks delicious! This sounds like a good way to use up those bits of leftovers in the frig and I know Jim would enjoy this. These days it’s hard to come up with a meal we aren’t all tired of! When are you going to publish all these wonderful recipes in a cookbook, you should!
Hugs……..
Thanks Emily, I love casserole dinners, so simple! Have a great week!

We used to call dinner like this a “Thisa-and-Thata” meal — a little of this and a little of that! And oh, the best. This looks like a good combination. Thanks for reminding me about the magic of the pot pie concept in an easier way!
Thanks Jeannie, I like your thisa-and-thata name for it!

What time is dinner, Jenna? This looks delicious and easy, because I closed the kitchen for a few days, or at least I said so. But, that never happens! Thanks for a great idea for tonight!
And just like that… Yum!
What a delicious way to use up leftovers! YUM!
Jenna, this recipe is brilliant, and would be the perfect dinner on Friday Night while watching Hallmark movies. I love this idea, and I’ll try it once the kids are out for Christmas break.
xo,
RJ
This looks so good and not hard at all. Thanks, I need some new ideas and I love easy ones.
Jenna, I’ve done an ‘anything goes’ frittata but not a galette! So much easier and quicker! Bacon is a must 🙂
That’s a really great idea. I always have a little of this and a little of that. More often than not, it all winds up in the trash. Of course, now I have to remember to keep some pie crusts around! I think a quiche may be the way to go for us though (especially since we have chickens), so I’m off to check out your post for that one! 🙂 Thanks for the idea and inspiration.
ha, of course, the chickens! Here’s an easy way to remember how to make quiche, use 4-5 eggs, 1 cup milk or half and half and anything else you like! Oh and season well with salt and pepper to spark up all those eggs!
Hi Jenna,
Your Galette looks delicious, I just love a Galette! Hope you are having a great weekend and thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday!
