You’ve probably heard the phrase, ‘as easy as pie’. Actually making a French galette is even easier.

A galette is a delicious, easy to make, rustic looking French pie which you can fill with whatever you think your guests might enjoy. Because galettes feature an open crust, the ingredients you use can visually entice (ie. drive mad) your friends and family long before they take their first bite.

Here’s a delicious party friendly appetizer recipe for a Sun Dried Tomato, Smoked Mozzarella, and Sausage Galette from the folks at Food Blogga; the perfect crusty galette to make as we move closer to Spring.

Enjoy!
