Fig and Brie Galette
Fig and Brie Galette is savory freeform tart with fresh figs and creamy brie and makes a perfect entertaining appetizer. We’re gettin’ figgy with it…
I’m on a fig kick because it’s fig season. A few days ago I made a grilled fig and prosciutto flatbread which was so delicious I wanted more figgy goodness and so a whole fig recipe was born. You also HAVE to check out these warm figs with goat cheese, pistachios and balsamic glaze.
A fig galette or tart, doesn’t always have to be sweet. This galette is made savory with creamy brie and where the figs are slightly sweet, they are perfect pairing. I served it with a side salad which made for the perfect lunch.
The crust is made with whole wheat flour to make it nutty and rich. The dough is then rolled out into a 12 inch circle and brie slices were arranged in the center, leaving 2 1/2 inch border.
The sliced figs are then arranged on top of the brie and the sides of the dough are folded over to meet the edge of the brie and figs. Egg wash is then brushed onto the edges so they brown and into the oven it goes.

Do leftovers have to be refrigerated?
No, you can keep them loosely covered for up to 2 days.
I made this over the weekend and it came out absolutely fantastic! I couldn’t find fresh figs so I used dried but sliced them in half. i also added 6 – 8 pieces of prosciutto to it and it was AMAZING! Thank you for this recipe. A family favorite for sure!
Thank you Lisa, you have made my day and I love that you made it your own with the prosciutto 🙂
I love figs! This galette looks so good to me. Thanks for sharing at Foodie Friends Friday!
If I had to pick my favorite cheese and fruit flavor combination, it would be brie and fig. And if I had to pick my favorite dessert to make for people… well it’s a tie between a galette and a trifle because most people don’t know either, nor how easy they are to make. Needless to say, I’m loving this recipe!!
This is just beautiful! I love the flavor combo!
Thank you so much Annie.
Hi Janette, I just received fresh figs from a “farm” delivery” service I’m involved with. This galette is the perfect delivery system for my figs! Thanks so much. Pinned and tumbled
Wow, fresh fig delivery. Thank you so much KC.
