Savory galettes are some of the best things to make once fall rolls around. Not only are they easy to make (thank you, store-bought dough), but they're also incredibly versatile. Savory or sweet? The choice is yours. This particular galette is filled with all things cozy; potatoes, bacon, and leeks.

large skillet

Step 2
Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease, then add the sliced leeks to the pan. Cook over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Season lightly with salt. Transfer to a small bowl to cool slightly.
Step 3
Unroll the store-bought pie crust and place on a piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle with half of the gruyere cheese, leaving a 1 1/2 inch border all around. Layer the potato slices over the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Toss the bacon and leeks together, then scatter over the potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Fold the dough edges over filling, tucking and overlapping as needed. Whisk 1 tablespoon water into the egg and brush over the dough.
Step 5
Place galette onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Allow galette to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
