Tip: The galette may be assembled and stored in the refrigerator the night before you plan to bake it.
- all-purpose flour
- 1 sheet (about 1/2 pound) frozen puff pastry
- 1 medium sweet potato (about 1/2 pound)
- 1/4 red onion or 1 shallot
- 1 bacon strip
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour and unfold the puff pastry onto it. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry into a 12-inch square. Place the puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet.
- Shingle the sweet potato slices on top of the puff pastry, leaving a ½-inch border all around. Scatter the onion slices, bacon, and thyme over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle the vegetables with a little salt and pepper.
- Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender, the bacon is sizzling, and the pastry is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and crack the egg onto the galette. Sprinkle the egg with some salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake until the egg white is set and the yolk is still a bit runny, about 6 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
