Method
 

Prepare Pie Dough
  1. In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt, pulsing briefly to mix.
  2. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually incorporate ice-cold water, pulsing until the dough comes together.
  4. Knead it gently, form it into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven
  1. While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Assemble Galette
  1. Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
  2. Transfer it to the baking sheet.
  3. In a bowl, toss fresh asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Spread a layer of garlic and herb cheese over the rolled dough, then layer torn pieces of prosciutto and arrange the asparagus.
Fold and Brush
  1. Fold the edges of the dough over the toppings, pleating as needed to create a rustic crust.
  2. Brush the exposed crust with egg wash and sprinkle with flaky salt.
Bake
  1. Place your assembled galette in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes.
  2. Look for a beautifully golden crust and bubbling cheese.
Finish
  1. Once baked, remove the galette from the oven and brush the crust with melted butter mixed with parsley.
  2. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
